Quick Hits: Red Wings Roster Down to 28

Ahead of last night’s win against Toronto, the Red Wings trimmed the preseason roster to 28. So, five more men will have to go beforeThursday, October 9. Here is a look at who remains: It is entirely possible that Steve Yzerman cuts a veteran in favor of a younger player, potentially putting two rookies on the opening night roster. History tells us that won’t happen, but what’s the fun…

Red Wings Put Gustafsson, Holl on Waivers

Frank Seravalli reported a list of waiver moves across the NHL Sunday afternoon. Included in those moves were a couple by the Red Wings. The Wings are waiving defensemen Erik Gustafsson and Justin Holl. We’ll find out tomorrow if Gustafsson or Holl are claimed by any teams. I could see Gus being claimed simply because he’s affordable depth. Holl, well, not so affordable but still a warm…

Red Wings Roster Features Three Rookies

When you started to see Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Emmitt Finnie, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard’s names so late in the preseason, the writing was kind of on the wall. The talented trio are set to make their NHL debut Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens. The news was all but sealed when the Red Wings placed defensemen Erik Gustafsson and Justin Holl on waivers. No other NHL team was…

Red Wings vs Leafs Start on Monday Rescheduled

Game Two of the MLB ALCS is being hosted at Rogers Centre that same Monday. Cool thing for those of our readers attending on Monday: Following Wings vs Leafs, fans can stick around in their seats and…

Red Wings Activate James van Riemsdyk

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…

Weekly Roundup: Red Wings Clean Up After Home Opener Snafu

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…

Quick Hits: Top Red Wings Prospects Off to a Hot Start

Red Wings Rumblings 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…

Quick Hits: How Many Top Players do the Red Wings Have?

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…

Quick Hits: Raymond and the Apple(ton) of my Eye

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…

Weekly Roundup: Red Wings Rip for Four Wins

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…

Quick Hits: Kane Sidelined from Red Wings Road Trip

Oh hey there, friend. It’s game day for the Red Wings — the start of a quick road trip starting in Buffalo tonight. The Sabres are 2-4-0 to start their season, so maybe not much has changed there. Too early to tell. Zach Benson looks good, though! All right, so, the Wings are going to be without Patrick Kane tonight and tomorrow (oh yeah, it’s a back-to-back road trip by the way).

Red Wings drop back-to-back games with 7-2 loss vs. Islanders

After getting beaten on the road by a bottom-of-the-barrel Buffalo Sabres squad on Wednesday, the Detroit Red Wings (5-3-0) looked unenthusiastic and, honestly, played their worst game of the season in a 7-2 loss against the Patrick Roy-coached New York Islanders (4-3-0) Thursday night at UBS Arena in Belmont, New York. Similar to their start in Buffalo, the Wings struggled to get shots on…

Weekly Roundup: Red Wings Get ‘Gritty’ Win After Ugly Losses

We all knew that the Red Wings were due to be brought back down to earth after ripping off five wins in a row. That came to fruition this week, and BOY was it ugly! Detroit was coming off of two full days of rest, so perhaps that plays into this whole thing. They dropped both games on a back-to-back in Buffalo and New York. The Islanders game was particularly awful because of, well…

Red Wings Take Shootout Win Over Kings

In a wild Halloween Eve game from Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night, the Detroit Red Wings (8-3-0) snatch victory from the gaping jaws of defeat with a 4-3 shootout win over the Los Angeles Kings (5-3-4). After a scoreless first period, the Kings jumped on the board first when Alex Laferriere scored a shorthanded goal with 7:21 remaining in the second period. Wings answered just 43…

Weekly Roundup: Red Wings Successful in California

I’ll be honest with you guys, I didn’t catch much hockey the past seven days. These west coast trips only get tougher as you get older, apparently. For that, I FEEL SHAME! Anywho, the Red Wings still have a game left on this road trip, but are already bringing home six points thanks to wins in St. Louis, Los Angeles, and San Jose. Call it luck, call it grit… Call it whatever you want.

Howdy, partners. Cheers to the Atlantic Division leaders, eh? Big win for the Red Wings last night at home, led by Detroit’s top line and rookies. What more could you ask for? Nate Danielson picked up his first-career goal, and had a BEAUTY for his second-career goal called back due to an offsides challenge. Emmitt Finnie picked up the game-winning goal (assist to Danielson!)…

Quick Hits: How About Those Red-Hot Griffins?

Ugly game last night, eh? Never a nice thing to get shutout on home ice, especially to a team that has already given you a nice ass-whooping already this season. Yuck. Let’s address the “elephant in the room.” I wonder about John Gibson. It’s hard to judge a goalie when your team scores precisely zero goals in a game, but the cold-hard truth is that Gibson has been a disappointment so far…

Quick Hits: The Thanksgiving Benchmark Edition

Happy almost Thanksgiving, Wingnuts! And to our friends in Canada, happy Wednesday. Usually after a game like the Red Wings had against the Devils, I’d be a little pissed, because that was a winnable game. I’m not. That game was a moral victory for me, because the team showed some fight. The defense is still an issue, and will probably remain that way for the rest of the season barring any…

The Red Wings are a good team. First time I’ve been able to confidently say that in quite some time. Sure they’ve got some issues, but I think it’s fair to say this group should be a playoff team come April. The Wings have points in five straight games and are again punching down in the Atlantic Division standings. Detroit’s most-recent win was a brilliant 39-save shutout from John…
