Detroit Red Wings News Sources

Detroit Sports Nation — If you look at the Detroit Red Wings’ roster of players this season, and take the 15-game sample size we currently have, one thing stands out; Jimmy Howard has been unreal. The Red Wings have bounced back from an 0-5-2 start to the 2018-19 season for a current 5-8-2 record, including wins in four of their last five games. A lot of this is due to the strong play of Howard, who’s currently 3-0-0 in this last three starts. (2.59 GAA, .925 SVP) Howard’s stats overall this year aren’t spectacular at 2.93 GAA and .917 save percentage, but this belies his real performance this year....

Detroit Sports Nation — With news arriving today that Frans Nielsen probably won’t draw back into the lineup for the Detroit Red Wings until Friday at the earliest, they acted accordingly. The Red Wings announced today they’ve called Christoffer Ehn back up from the Grand Rapids Griffins. Ehn was sent to Grand Rapids almost two weeks ago now, on October 25. They’ve gone 3-2-0 in that time and have a +4 goal differential. Ehn was a surprise debut on Opening Night with the Red Wings, and has since appeared in nine games. He’s garnered a single assist for his efforts, along with four penalty minutes and a...

Detroit Sports Nation — When the Detroit Red Wings started the season, their blue line was decimated with injuries to key veterans. Now that most of them are healthy, they’re seeing the same on their forward lines. But Detroit is expected to get a key forward back in Frans Nielsen in time to play against the Vancouver Canucks. The Red Wings got some momentum over their last five games, going 3-2 in that span. That includes a three-game win streak that was snapped by their most recent loss to the Edmonton Oilers, a close 4-3 decision. But with a +4 goal differential in that same span of five games, the Red Wings...

Winging It In Motown — In Red Wings Land Red Wings inconvenienced by weather: ‘Nobody wanted to sleep with me’ | Freep There had been talk of flying back to Detroit after Thursday’s game, but that didn’t pan out. Instead, the Wings were scheduled to spend Friday bussing to Ottawa’s airport, flying to Albany, New York, to clear U.S. Customs, flying on to White Plains, New York, and bussing to their hotel in Jersey City. Their game is 1 p.m. Saturday. Sounds like a fun road trip for the Red Wings. I hope Jeff Blashill found someone to sleep with at the hotel. Around the League NHL players deserve...

Winging It In Motown — The Red Wings’ winning streak is over after a low-scoring affair between two clubs who struggle defensively. Not a lot to pick from here, although if I wanted to be more-positive, I could key in on the really good shift by Rasmussen that led to his goal. I don’t want to be more-positive though, so you get a mistake that led to the Senators’ first (counted) goal of the night: The Setup Detroit has full control behind their own net and is setting up a breakout under very little pressure as Trevor Daley goes to Frans Nielsen on the left side. Nielsen gets to the half-boards watched by...
