The Detroit Red Wings are in a position to make some trades, and they have started the season on the winning side of things with a 5-1-0 record. Part of the success has come from rookies being injected into the lineup to provide the team with some life. Elliotte Friedman discussed the Red Wings' roster situation on 32 Thoughts and mentioned that Detroit could look to deal from depth and trade. Players being dealt that could come from this are Erik Gustafsson, Justin Holl, and Jonatan Berggren....

Six games into the 2025-26 National Hockey League season, it’s clear that the Edmonton Oilers are struggling early for a third consecutive season. After going 2-0-1 over their first three contests, the Oilers are now mired in a three-game losing skid, falling to the New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, and Detroit Red Wings. Edmonton…

From bad to worse. Any hope the Edmonton Oilers had in salvaging their five-game eastern road trip blew up in their face Sunday afternoon, losing 4-2 to the Detroit Red Wings. While the team secured an ugly 2-0 shutout victory over the New York Rangers to kick things off, they put up a stinker against…

It’s a bit of a lighter week for the 2-3 Islanders, with another day before they host the (still winless) Sharks on Tuesday, the (shockingly Atlantic leading) Red Wings on Thursday, then visit Philadelphia on Saturday. With two wins at the end of last week, they avoided falling into a nightmare start, but a variety […]

After a pair of mistake-riddled losses to the Islanders and Devils, the Oilers made their way to Detroit to take on the red-hot Red Wings in search of simplicity. When the boys are getting caved in by errors, the best approach to climbing out of the hole is by playing simple hockey instead of trying…

Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. Like Saturday, the first period was scoreless, with the opposition team…

Pretty damn busy week for the Detroit Red Wings. Also pretty damn successful.
A couple of months ago, you may have looked at the schedule for this week and thought to yourself “that’s a brutal stretch.” Despite a handful of division opponents and a team with the two “best” players in the NHL, the Wings are on a five-game heater. The success comes off of strong efforts from goaltending, defense, and captain Dylan Larkin, who has 11 points on the season as I write this Sunday evening.

The clock is ticking on the Edmonton Oilers getting healthy. While the team placed defenceman Alec Regula on the injured reserve on Sunday ahead of their afternoon matinee with the Detroit Red Wings, the Oilers are also expecting some key players to get healthy in the coming week.

The best thing about a back-to-back weekend is that you don’t have time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. After another disappointing loss on Saturday afternoon in New Jersey, the Oilers get an immediate chance to redeem themselves in Detroit, and I’ll be looking for a much better effort. Yesterday’s 5–3 loss to…

The Ottawa Senators will have to navigate life without their captain for up to two months as Brady Tkachuk underwent surgery to repair a right thumb injury. Tkachuk left Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators partway through the third period. While the team initially hoped surgery wouldn’t be required, a second opinion proved otherwise….

It’s Lightning vs. Red Wings tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Wings come into the game with a three-game win streak. It appears that John Gibson will get a shot at redemption. Really hope the team can play like they have been the last few games. Gibson needs to get his legs under him. It’s a long season and Cam Talbot is 38 years old.
For what it’s worth, Mason Appleton skated with Dylan Larkin and Emmitt Finnie at practice on Thursday. A sign that perhaps Lucas Raymond is still heali...

Red Wings Rumblings
Somber yet positive. That’s my vibe today as a fan of the Detroit Red Wings. Somber because we are still waiting to learn more about Lucas Raymond’s health. He left the game Monday with an upper-body injury after taking a heavy hit right on the boards. Didn’t look great, but he was able to move his arm afterward FWIW. No practice yesterday, so we’ll find out more later today.
UPDATE: Lucas Raymond skated at practice . Coach says he’s out tonight and is considered ...

The Maple Leafs’ stars woke up offensively, and their depth scoring continued to chip in as they lit up the Nashville Predators for seven (two empty-netters) on Tuesday night. The Leafs largely carried over their five-on-five ascendancy from the final 40 minutes of the Red Wings game in the first period of play. They’re more […]

Yzerman says Red Wings’ rookie trio ‘exceeded our expectations’ this fall
Here’s a nice piece from the Red Wings staff featuring Yzerman’s perspective of his homegrown talent finally making paydirt. We’re just two games into the 2025-26 NHL Regular Season, but I haven’t seen anything from Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Emmitt Finnie, or Michael Brandsegg-Nygard that I can complain about. It’s also too early to tell what the ceiling is for these three rookies. I’ve got a go...

The 2025-26 NHL Regular Season is well underway, and while it wasn’t exactly the start that head coach Todd McLellan wanted in his first official “home opener” since taking the job, the veteran coach is probably resting a little easier this Sunday after the Red Wings handled their business against the Toronto Maple Leafs at LCA Saturday night.
Editor’s Note: I mentioned starting these “weekly roundup/recap” stories in a previous article. This is the first of what hopefully will be many. T...

The Detroit Red Wings announced Saturday morning that forward James van Riemsdyk has been activated from non-roster status. Defenseman Erik Gustafsson has been assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins after clearing waivers just days ago.
JvR has missed time due to personal reasons. The 36-year-old vet, signed this past offseason to a one-year deal, did not participate in training camp or preseason. He’s been in the NHL a long time, so I think Todd McLellan understands that JvR won’t need a ...
