Christopher Li+FollowRed Wings’ new faces are making wavesDetroit’s offseason moves are finally paying off—James van Riemsdyk is lighting the lamp and earning power play time, all on a bargain contract. Mason Appleton’s back from injury and chipping in key goals, while John Gibson has steadied the net after a rocky start. It’s a big turnaround from last year’s underwhelming additions. But while the forwards are clicking, the defense is still a weak spot, and fans are left wondering if the front office can fix it before the playoffs. What do you think—should Detroit trust the current management to shore up the blue line? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Sherri West+FollowRed Wings shake up lines to spark a turnaroundDetroit fans, you’ll want to keep an eye on the Red Wings’ next game—coach Todd McLellan isn’t waiting for things to fix themselves. After a rough start to the year and too many blowout losses, he’s mixing up the lines in a big way, moving key scorers like DeBrincat, Copp, and Kane to the top, and shuffling Larkin to the second line. It’s a bold move to break old habits and inject new energy before things spiral. Do you think this shakeup will finally give Detroit the consistency they need for a real playoff push? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Sherri West+FollowRed Wings stumble as Lightning leap aheadLosing their division lead stings, but what really stands out is how the Red Wings struggled to even hit the net—more shots were blocked or missed than actually tested the goalie. Meanwhile, John Gibson’s hot streak in goal was wasted as Detroit’s offense fizzled. The Lightning took full advantage, jumping ahead in the standings, while the Wings caught a break with rivals also dropping points. With more games played than their Atlantic Division rivals, Detroit can’t afford to keep slipping. Monday’s matchup against Ottawa suddenly feels like a must-win. How do you feel about the Wings’ chances to bounce back? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowCan Lucas Raymond Lead Sweden to Olympic Gold?Wings fans, is Lucas Raymond about to become the Olympics’ breakout star? With Larkin repping Team USA and Seider on Germany, all eyes are on Raymond to headline Sweden’s top line alongside Leo Carlsson and Jesper Bratt. His playmaking has hit another level this season—33 assists in 41 games! With so much firepower, could Raymond outshine Nylander and Forsberg to become the dark horse scoring leader at Milano-Cortina 2026? Let’s hear your predictions! #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Martha Garza+FollowMason Appleton’s clutch play lifts Red WingsMason Appleton’s return from injury has quietly been a game-changer for the Detroit Red Wings. Since coming back, the team’s gone 4-1-1, and Appleton’s knack for scoring at crucial moments—like his New Year’s Eve game-winner against his old team—has added real spark to Detroit’s bottom-six forwards. He’s not just filling a roster spot; he’s making the difference in tight games and bringing playoff experience to a team hungry to end its drought. What do you think—can Appleton’s impact help push the Wings back into the playoffs? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Sherri West+FollowJohn Leonard’s Detroit impact isn’t overJohn Leonard made his mark with the Red Wings in just seven games—scoring twice and adding two assists, mostly on the second line. Even though he’s back with the Grand Rapids Griffins for now, his strong performance (especially filling in for Patrick Kane) showed he’s ready for more NHL action. Leonard’s family got to see him shine during Detroit’s “Mother’s Celebration” weekend, making his stint even more memorable. With the Red Wings’ roster always shifting, don’t be surprised if Leonard gets another shot in Detroit soon. What do you think—should he be a regular in the lineup? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Sherri West+FollowRed Wings eye strong finish before New YearDetroit’s December run has been nothing short of impressive, with the Red Wings sitting at 11-3-1 and looking to keep that momentum rolling into the new year. The upcoming matchup against the Winnipeg Jets isn’t one to overlook—despite their record, the Jets have some serious firepower with Connor and Scheifele both racking up 45 points. Meanwhile, John Leonard’s reassignment shows Detroit’s depth is real, and he could be back if injuries hit. With a tough January ahead, do you think the Wings can keep up this pace and stay in the playoff hunt? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Martha Garza+FollowDetroit Red Wings: 3 moves to break the droughtEnding Detroit’s nine-year playoff drought isn’t just a dream—it’s a must for 2026. The Red Wings have to use the Olympic break wisely, keeping players fresh and focused while others are away. March has been their Achilles’ heel, so staying healthy and consistent is key to not repeating past collapses. But here’s the real game-changer: it’s time for Steve Yzerman to pull off a bold trade and bring in a difference-maker. Detroit has the talent and assets—now it’s about taking risks to finally get back to playoff hockey. What do you think is the most important move? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings01Share
William Morrow+FollowRed Wings’ young defense duo is changing the gameDetroit’s playoff hopes are alive thanks to the incredible impact of Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson. Every time these two hit the ice together, the Red Wings outplay opponents—even when facing the toughest matchups. Edvinsson’s overtime winner against Toronto is just the latest highlight. The difference is night and day: with them, Detroit dominates; without them, the team struggles. If management can add some depth behind these two, this could finally be the year the Wings break their nine-year playoff drought. What do you think—are Seider and Edvinsson the most valuable pairing in the NHL right now? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings10Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowCould Justin Faulk be Detroit’s missing piece?Bringing in Justin Faulk could be the game-changer the Red Wings need for a real playoff push. Imagine a veteran right-handed defenseman shoring up Detroit’s blue line, giving Moritz Seider more support and helping rookie Axel Sandin-Pellikka develop without all the pressure. With Faulk’s solid offensive numbers and versatility, the Red Wings’ top four would look a lot more stable—and it doesn’t hurt that GM Steve Yzerman has a strong trading history with the Blues’ front office. Would you pull the trigger on this move if you were Yzerman? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
