ALEX NEDELJKOVIC

Hart made 29 saves to lead the Philadelphia Flyers past the Red Wings 3-0 at Wells Fargo Center. The Red Wings (31-32-9) dipped below .500 in points percentage for the first time this season and were swept in the three-game season series by Philadelphia, which is 4-0-1 in its past five and 28-32-12 overall. The Red Wings went 0 for 7 on the power play against a team that entered the game ranked 28th on the penalty kill. Alex Nedeljkovic allowed two goals on 21 shots in his first start with the Red Wings since Dec. 8. The Red Wings seem to prefer playing Edvinsson at home rather than on the road, where they can’t dictate the matchup.

DETROIT – Alex Nedeljkovic cut his hair and shaved his mustache, looking much different sitting in front of his stall in the Detroit Red Wings dressing room after practice Friday. He hopes he will look different on the ice, too, Saturday in Philadelphia (1 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit) when he makes his first start for the Red Wings in 3½ months. I’m just thankful for another opportunity.”Nedeljkovic was 2-4-2, with a 4.09 goals-against average and .880 save percentage when the Red Wings waived him Jan. 15 and then assigned him to Grand Rapids. Every day is a chance to get better and prove something.”For Nedeljkovic, 27, it’s proving he belongs in the NHL next season. In the meanwhile, the Red Wings are eager to see if he can regain the form that prompted them to acquire him from Carolina for a third-round pick in July 2021.

DETROIT – The resilience the Detroit Red Wings displayed against the same opponent two nights earlier was missing on Thursday. The Red Wings led by two goals 88 seconds into the game. “Obviously, I loved our start,” Lalonde said. When you get a good start like that you got to learn how to keep your momentum. “I will be happy for the goal tomorrow, but we lose today.”More: What Edvinsson is learning during apprenticeship with Red Wings

DETROIT – The night started so well for the Detroit Red Wings. The St. Louis Blues scored the next four goals and held on to defeat Detroit 4-3 at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings (31-31-9) failed to grain traction from their 3-2 shootout victory in St. Louis on Saturday. It was Nedeljkovic’s first appearance with the Red Wings since Dec. 8. The Red Wings started strong with their fastest two goals at the start of a game since Dec. 4, 1987.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - With a little over a month left in the regular season, the Grand Rapids Griffins had some more important games against Central Division competition last week, with their playoff hopes waning in the balance. While they were outshot 12-10 in the first 20 minutes, Grand Rapids carried a two-goal lead into the second period.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids finished up a short, two-week homestand at Van Andel Arena this past week, taking on a division rival, before partaking in some interdivisional action. Grand Rapids wasted little time padding their lead in the second period. Unlike the second period, Grand Rapids continued on the attack, as Chiasson finished off a nice feed from Adam Erne for his second of the contest shortly before the halfway mark of the period.

The Red Wings haven’t won more than two games in a row since November. With 50 points, the Red Wings (21-19-8) are only two points ahead of their pace following 48 games a season ago. The Red Wings after eight days off the ice with their bye week and the All-Star break, return to practice on Sunday. Ideally, the Red Wings would like someone to share the load. When he returns to the Red Wings next week, he’ll face a daily battle to crack the lineup.

ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Grand Rapids Griffins restarted their long stretch of road games this past weekend, taking on a pair of familiar foes in some key Central Division matchups. Things did not get any better for the Griffins in the second period, as Cole Schneider extended the Admirals’ lead to four in the opening minutes of the second period. First, Simon Edvinsson showed some slick hands to score his second goal of the season over five minutes into the frame. Nonetheless, they have Grand Rapids’ number thus far.

When the Detroit Red Wings waived Alex Nedeljkovic on Sunday and assigned him to the Grand Rapids Griffins the following day after he cleared, it did not settle their backup goaltending situation. The Red Wings might not have seen the last of Nedeljkovic, especially if Magnus Hellberg experiences more games like Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout loss in Arizona. The Red Wings got goals less than a minute apart in the third period from Pius Suter (4:57) and David Perron (5:49) to take a 3-1 lead. The Red Wings (18-17-8) have lost three in a row (0-2-1) but believe they deserved a better fate after outshooting the Coyotes 40-23 and getting many quality chances against Connor Ingram, who helped Arizona snap a nine-game losing streak in front of 4,600 mostly Red Wings fans at Mullet Arena on the campus of Arizona State. More: Red Wings wary of over-using Ville Husso

DETROIT – Ville Husso has been the Detroit Red Wings’ most invaluable player the first half of the season, no question. He had appeared in only 55 games over two NHL seasons before joining the Red Wings in the offseason but believes he was prepared for the grind. “I learned a lot from last year, playing a lot of games,” Husso said before this trip. Whatever happens, win or lose, move onto the next one.”The Red Wings entered the season expecting Husso and Alex Nedeljkovic to split the workload. The Red Wings hope Hellberg (2-3-0, 2.82 GAA, .892 save percentage) plays well enough to give Husso more of a breather.

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic cleared waivers on Monday, providing the club with some roster flexibility. The Red Wings opted to keep Magnus Hellberg as their backup to Ville Husso. He rejoined the Red Wings for practice on Sunday before being waived. Nedeljkovic hasn’t appeared in a game for the Red Wings since Dec. 8, a 5-1 loss at Florida. More: Red Wings’ first half grades

Alex Nedeljkovic had a successful conditioning stint with the Grand Rapids Griffins, finding his rhythm and building some confidence after not having played for a month during a rough season. The Red Wings have opted to keep Magnus Hellberg as their backup to Ville Husso. Hellberg, 31, is 2-3-1 with a 2.81 goals-against average and .896 save percentage since being claimed off waivers on Nov. 22. Nedeljkovic hasn’t appeared in a game for the Red Wings since Dec. 8, a 5-1 loss at Florida. He has struggled during infrequent starts, going 2-4-2 with a 4.09 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Last week, the Grand Rapids Griffins finished up their seven-game homestand with a trio of important matchups against Central Division foes.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are only slightly ahead of last season’s pace as they hit the midway mark on Saturday. I think our guys understand that.”The Red Wings were 18-17-5 through 40 games in 2021-22 but faltered the second half, going 14-23-5 their final 42 games. Then the Red Wings will decide what’s next. In that case, Nedeljkovic would join the Red Wings at some point during their three-game trip to Colorado, Arizona and Vegas. A conditioning stint in Grand Rapids is possible, before which the Red Wings would need to activate him and clear a roster spot.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are hoping a familiar combination will provide a much-needed offensive boost. Tyler Bertuzzi returns to the lineup Tuesday and will start on a line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. We’ll give them an opportunity tomorrow and see how it does.”The Red Wings (16-15-7) have lost three in a row, scoring only four goals in the process. “I just think he’s trying to build his game,” Lalonde said. Hopefully, he’ll continue to build on some things and get his game in order and contribute to that potential for us.”More: What is Red Wings’ next move with Vrana, Nedeljkovic?

Nedeljkovic will be back with the Detroit Red Wings this week or next. Vrana is only 26 but clearly does not fit into the Red Wings’ future plans. Unlike Vrana, Nedeljkovic remains in good standing with the Red Wings. Nedeljkovic hadn’t played since Dec. 8 and given his struggles with the Red Wings (2-4-2, .409 GAA, .880 save percentage), this was a much-needed stint to regain his rhythm and build confidence. The Red Wings can’t keep three goalies for the remainder of the season.

Neither team was able to score in the second period, but Alex Chiasson helped extend the Griffins’ lead to two before the halfway mark of the third period. However, it was too little, too late, as the Griffins were able to hang on for the 4-2 win. Matej Blumel extended the stars’ lead late in the second period, and the Griffs found themselves trailing 2-0 heading into the final stanza of regulation. Despite a couple of big stops from Nedeljkovic, the Stars were able to prevail, earning a pseudo-split with a 3-2 win.

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic needed a game to shake off the rust, to regain his timing and rhythm, to build confidence. I was just looking forward to getting some games in and finding my game,” Nedeljkovic said. The Red Wings will then decide whether to recall him or have him play more games with Grand Rapids next week (the maximum stint is 14 days). “Talked with Ben (Griffins coach Simon) immediately after the game … Benny said he was good, he was sharp,” Lalonde said. Robby Fabbri, who made his season debut Wednesday after undergoing ACL surgery in March, isn’t likely to play both games.

The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday assigned goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic to the Grand Rapids Griffins for conditioning. Nedeljkovic hasn’t played since Dec. 8 (5-1 loss at Florida) while struggling to find consistency. The conditioning stint can last for a maximum two weeks. Hellberg is 2-2-0, with aa 2.74 GAA and .897 save percentage this season between Detroit and Ottawa. More: Red Wings waive Jakub Vrana in surprise move to be roster-compliant

The Detroit Red Wings return to the practice ice today following an extended Christmas break, preparing for road games against Pittsburgh Wednesday (7:30 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit) and Buffalo Thursday (7 p.m., BSD). Here are five things to watch coming out of the break:Vrana could help boost offenseJakub Vrana’s impending return gives the Red Wings another top-six forward and will boost their offense and power play. Goaltender Ville Husso has been the Red Wings’ most important player, but they’ve used him more than they would have liked (23 starts out of 32 games). The Red Wings’ top defensive pairing of Moritz Seider and Ben Chiarot has been intact since the start of training camp. “I think he’s probably fighting a little bit of confidence,” Lalonde said.

DETROIT – With Alex Nedeljkovic struggling, could Magnus Hellberg get a look as the Detroit Red Wings’ back-up goaltender? But coach Derek Lalonde said Hellberg is an option. Hellberg is ready following a four-game conditioning stint with the Grand Rapids Griffins. “We’ll see what happens,” Hellberg said Monday, after rejoining the Red Wings for practice. You can nit-pick on each goal, but he was ready to play that game.”More: Will Bertuzzi, Berggren, Hellberg stick around?

Trailing 4-1 and looking down and out, the Red Wings perked up big-time in the third. The Red Wings had ample opportunities to win it on the power play but couldn’t convert.

DETROIT – Alex Nedeljkovic will be back in the net Wednesday for the Detroit Red Wings, making his first start in 2½ weeks after the team rode Ville Husso’s hot hand for several games. You’re always ready to go in at any moment.”The Red Wings (11-6-4) will try to rebound against the Buffalo Sabres at Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m., TNT) after having their four-game winning streak snapped Monday in a 4-2 loss to Toronto. “Having Ned back in net, seeing the attitude that he had over the last little while, how hard he works. I think for us it’s important to be sharp early also and not make critical mistakes,” David Perron said. “We had a roster spot and wanted to see how this played out with our depth.”More: Red Wings encouraged with play despite another loss to Leafs

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings have taken strides this season, but the Toronto Maple Leafs remain on a higher plane. The Red Wings (11-5-5) had their four-game winning streak snapped. It is the first time this season the Red Wings have pulled their goaltender from a game. The Red Wings had some chances to trim the lead, before and after pulling Nedeljkovic for the extra skater with 2:48 remaining but didn’t convert. The Red Wings host Buffalo Wednesday in the fourth game of their season-long five-game homestand.

Larkin and Andrew Copp, who played at Michigan, were reveling in the Wolverines’ 45-23 victory over Ohio State Saturday. “That was the first time I’ve watched the Michigan-Ohio State game with friends and family in eight years pretty much.

Ville Husso and Alex Nedeljkovic, who will form the Detroit Red Wings’ goaltending tandem in 2022-23 and perhaps beyond, can relate to the long and arduous journey netminders often take to the NHL. I think we’ll be a good goalie duo.”The Red Wings were seeking an experienced goalie to pair with Nedeljkovic after moving on from Thomas Greiss, who struggled last season. “The last year was a really good start and unfortunately I got COVOD and was out for three weeks,” Husso said. “I’m very happy to join the Detroit Red Wings, a historic team, 11 Stanley Cups,” Husso said. “I’m a pretty easygoing guy, so hopefully all the guys like me, and I think it will be fine.”More: Yzerman expects Husso, Nedeljkovic to form solid tandem

The goalie carousel continues to spin even before the second day of the NHL draft begins.

The Detroit Red Wings allowed more goals per game this season than at any time in the past 32 years. The forwards and defense were just as culpable as the goaltenders, but that statistic is something Alex Nedeljkovic took personally. If nothing were to change from how the season ended to next year, I’m not going to allow that to happen again. “Even after tough games, tough stretches, he was always the guy to keep his head up and say, ‘It’s all right. This was his first 82-game NHL season.

Pittsburgh, which whipped the Red Wings 7-2 on Saturday, is much more potent than New Jersey. But the Red Wings receive some credit for their response.

Magnus Hellberg, the 6-foot-6 goaltender the Detroit Red Wings signed on Wednesday, joined them for practice Friday at Madison Square Garden, the site of his most recent NHL appearance five years ago. Alex Nedeljkovic is firmly established as the Red Wings’ No. You’re probably never going to feel like you’re going to get enough practices with the schedule we have. Let’s start with tomorrow and go from there.”The Red Wings needed another goalie for organizational depth after Calvin Pickard was injured on March 27.
