BALLY SPORTS DETROIT

Bally Sports Detroit has added former players Cameron Maybin and Todd Jones to their Tigers broadcast team.

The Detroit Red Wings on Thursday faced the same situation they did two nights before. The Red Wings (19-17-7) stopped a three-game slide (0-2-1) and gained three of a possible six points on the swing. “Just proud of the group,” coach Derek Lalonde told Bally Sports Detroit. “We thought it was in everyone’s best interest (to sit him).”The Red Wings flew back from Las Vegas on Friday and did not practice. “It’s always hard when you travel back from the West,” Dylan Larkin told BSD.

The Detroit Red Wings will look to stop a three-game skid and avoid falling to .500 in points percentage for the first time this season tonight in Vegas (10 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings lost 6-3 Monday in Colorado in game in which they fell behind 2-0 in the first period and trailed 5-0 in the second. “Stay at it,” coach Derek Lalonde told Bally Sports Detroit after Tuesday’s game. Ville Husso is expected to start in net for the Red Wings. Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is riding a five-game points streak (two goals, five assists).

Hall-of-Fame pitcher Jack Morris won’t return to the Detroit Tigers’ television broadcast team in 2023, The Detroit News reported on Monday. He began calling Tigers games on a part-time basis with what was then known as Fox Sports Detroit in 2015. A Minnesota native, Morris has also been a broadcaster for the Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays and national outlets. Morris’ departure, and an increasingly lighter role for Gibson, could open up more opportunities for Monroe and Petry. He began contributing to the Tigers’ broadcasts as a studio analyst in 2012.

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 – The Detroit Red Wings were looking good after winning at Tampa Bay on Dec. 8, extending a promising start to the season. It’s not complete,” coach Derek Lalonde said. We’re better than that and can be better than that.”Lalonde said it’s important they judge themselves on performance, not results, and their play hasn’t been all bad. We were on our heels for the last two periods.”The Red Wings haven’t played a complete game in more than two weeks. More: Red Wings seek ways to get back ‘that good feeling’

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings received some good news on Friday as Dylan Larkin and Filip Hronek took part in practice prior to Saturday’s game against the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena (1 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). Larkin was wearing a blue non-contact jersey after injuring his right hand when hit by a shot during the second period of Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to Carolina. He missed the third period and did not play in Wednesday’s 4-1 loss at Minnesota. Hronek was knocked out of Wednesday’s game early in the first period after taking a huge open-ice hit from Ryan Reaves. Reaves was not penalized on the play or disciplined by the NHL.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings have dropped two in a row, but there is not a lot they want to change with their five-on-five play tonight against Vegas at Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings (11-6-5) wrap up a five-game homestand. “The three centers, it creates matchup issues.”With Tyler Bertuzzi out six weeks following hand surgery, the Red Wings tweaked some lines in Friday’s practice. The Red Wings have registered 45 and 44 shots, season highs, in each of the past two games. “We may have played better against Toronto and Buffalo than we did vs. Nashville (3-0 victory on Nov. 23) on this homestand,” Lalonde said.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings have had a different look to them this season. The Red Wings will debut their 2022-23 Retro Reverse uniforms when the Toronto Maple Leafs visit Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). “They’re winning because they’re playing the right way. “They can skate, they can compete.”Ville Husso will make his sixth consecutive start for the Red Wings. The Red Wings’ special teams have been sharp.

The Red Wings claimed him on Wednesday in a surprise move, giving them three healthy goaltenders. “Going into the season, me and my family, we kind of knew that it could be a season like this, trying to break into the league. I prepared mentally for it before the season.”Hellberg, 31, joined the Red Wings Friday for the morning skate prior to the game against Arizona at Little Caesars Arena (8 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). It was influenced by their familiarity with Hellberg, who signed with the Red Wings late last season following a five-year stint in the KHL and played the season finale at New Jersey, a 5-3 victory. “It’s not easy for her to be along on this journey but it’s great having her by my side, supporting us in all this stuff.”More: Better starts, five-on-five play the focus for Red Wings

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are seeking faster starts and better five-on-five play as they take a three-game winning streak into tonight’s contest against the Arizona Coyotes at Little Caesars Arena (8 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings have a 49-38 edge in the second and third periods and overtime. “They play with pace, they play on top of you, they’re a fast team,” Lalonde said. “We wanted to see if he could skate this morning, especially since our skating coach is in town,” Lalonde said. Michigan is pretty big in our room, a couple staff members, guys on our team (Larkin) played at Michigan.

DETROIT – The first home game following a West Coast trip can be tough, but the Detroit Red Wings have had plenty of time to adjust before hosting Nashville tonight (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). “I want to see how we’re going to be coming off an extended road trip, going East Coast, West Coast, back to East Coast playing and then three days between games,” coach Derek Lalonde said. One week ago, the Red Wings were mired in a four-game slide (0-2-2). “Someone asked me on the West Coast, what are you going to do, you’re 0-2-2. It’s going to be tough every time out.”Nashville (9-8-2) is 4-0-1 in its past five and has won six in a row against the Red Wings.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are sending mixed signals. The Red Wings unraveled in the third period, allowing six unanswered goals in an 8-2 loss to the New York Rangers.

The Detroit Red Wings gave top defense prospect Simon Edvinsson a good, long look in the preseason and decided he needs some development time in the AHL. 6 overall pick in 2021, was among 15 players assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday. The Red Wings’ top four on defense features Ben Chiarot-Moritz Seider and Olli Maatta-Hronek. The Red Wings have four days of practice before opening the season Friday against the Montreal Canadiens at Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit).

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings have a couple of practices and two more preseason games to assemble what coach Derek Lalonde described as a jigsaw puzzle – the season-opening 23-man roster. The Red Wings might reveal their decisions on Sunday. Lalonde said Edvinsson has progressed on both the power play and penalty kill. Yzerman indicated before camp that Edvinsson would need to play on at least one specialty unit to start in Detroit. Lalonde said there is no preference in carrying 14 forwards and seven defensemen or 13 forwards and eight defensemen.

The Detroit Red Wings have announced updated starts times for 20 weekday games at Little Caesars Arena, bumping them up to 7 p.m. The team, which previously had mostly 7:30 start times for weekday games, called the earlier starts “fan friendly puck drops.” The Red Wings worked with the NHL and visiting teams to make the schedule adjustments, which start with the season-opener Oct. 14 against the Montreal Canadiens. “Based on feedback from fans, season ticket members, hockey operations staff, and club partners, we’re confident the 7:00 p.m. start for weekday games will be a welcomed change,” Chris McGowan, president and CEO of Ilitch Sports & Entertainment, said in a release. “The 7:00 p.m. first puck drop aligns with the start times of the majority of NHL clubs (27 of 32). Once the national television schedule was announced, we worked through the approval process with the NHL and Bally Sports Detroit to move these games to 7:00 p.m.”Here is the Red Wings’ updated regular season schedule (games bumped up to 7 p.m. in bold):October14 vs. MONTREAL, 7 p.m. (BSD)15 at New Jersey, 7 p.m. (BSD)17 vs. LOS ANGELES, 7 p.m. (BSD)21 at Chicago, 8:30 p.m. (BSD Extra)23 vs. ANAHEIM, 5 p.m. (ESPN)25 vs. NEW JERSEY, 7 p.m. (BSD)27 at Boston, 7 p.m. (BSD)29 vs. MINNESOTA, 7 p.m. (BSD)31 at Buffalo, 7 p.m. (BSD Extra)November3 vs. WASHINGTON, 7 p.m. (BSD)5 vs. N.Y.

Bally Sports Detroit will televise 69 Red Wings regular season games in 2022-23 – 58 on BSD and 11 on Bally Sports Detroit Extra. Play by play man Ken Daniels and analyst Mickey Redmond return for their 26th season together in the booth. BSD’s coverage includes pregame and postgame editions of Red Wings Live in addition to live reports from Little Caesars Arena and studio analysis.

The Jan. 4 game vs. New Jersey will be broadcast nationally on TNT but will air exclusively on BSD in the local market.

The final two months of the season were disappointing, but the Detroit Red Wings can take some solace from winning their last game tonight in New Jersey (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). It’s not much to celebrate but might send them into the offseason in a slightly better frame of mind. “I think it’s important to go out and play great hockey,” coach Jeff Blashill said. The Red Wings (72 points) would move up to seventh and have a 6.5 percent chance of winning the May 10 lottery if Ottawa (71 points) gains a point on them. The Red Wings would move down to ninth and have a 5 percent chance of winning the lottery if they gain two points on Buffalo (73 points).

The New York Yankees made an extremely controversial decision Thursday in their game against the Detroit Tigers, intentionally walking Miguel Cabrera in the eighth inning, even though he was sitting at 2,999 career hits.

Contain Josh Norris and stay out of the penalty box are two of the keys for the Detroit Red Wings tonight as they face Ottawa at Little Caesars Arena (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit), looking to avoid being swept in the season series by the Senators. Ottawa won back-to-back games vs. Detroit April 1-3, both 5-2, in matchups between teams that have been eliminated from playoff contention. “In the first two we didn’t play great, but we could have won either game,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “I like our game better today than when we went into those games. The Red Wings, 2-0-1 in their past three, are stressing discipline after being shorthanded 16 times the past four games (they killed 15 penalties).

The Detroit Red Wings face a tough challenge tonight against the Boston Bruins as they try to stop two streaks (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings (26-34-9) have lost six in a row (0-4-2), equaling their season-long skid from March 4-15 (0-5-1). They certainly exploit you from an offensive standpoint, but they’re very good defensively and they’re hard to create against. The Bruins won two of the first three meetings with the Red Wings, who needed a 41-save performance from Alex Nedeljkovic to prevail 2-1 at Boston on Nov. 30. Basically, it still comes down to you playing your game and playing it really good against any team.”More: Red Wings wonder why there is no joy in games

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings have faced a backup or third-string goaltender in nearly half of their games, including two making their NHL debut. “We didn’t do a good enough job of it at all,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. The Red Wings went 0 for 5 on the power play and allowed a shorthanded goal. The Red Wings (26-33-9) continue a slide that began one month ago, when they were at .500 in points percentage. That prompted the Red Wings captain to retaliate by punching him, which resulted in a one-game suspension for Larkin.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings could do no right on special teams Friday, and they could not take advantage of a goaltender making his NHL debut. Mads Stogaard made 27 saves, Mathieu Joseph scored three goals in the third period as the Ottawa Senators defeated the Red Wings 5-2 at Little Caesars Arena. In the waning minutes, some in the crowd began chanting “Fire Blashill!” to express their displeasure with Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill. The Red Wings (26-33-9) are 2-9-3 in their past 14. The Red Wings began the third period with 33 seconds of a five-on-three power play.

The Detroit Red Wings will be well-rested and the Tampa Bay Lightning quite agitated when the teams meet tonight at Amalie Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings (24-24-6) are coming off a 4-3 overtime victory over Carolina on Wednesday, looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 9-12 against the Flyers. But Red Wings’ coach Jeff Blashill doesn’t believe being the rested team necessarily is an advantage in this case. Prior to that, the Lightning had won 17 in a row at home against the Red Wings, including the playoffs. … I just would hate to put a real date on it and lock myself into that.”The Red Wings will need to clear a roster spot before activating Vrana.

A lot of young talent will be on display tonight when the Detroit Red Wings face the Anaheim Ducks at Little Caesars Arena (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit). That includes the three potential finalists for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie. Seider (four goals, 29 points) leads all rookies in assists (25), power-play points (12) and average ice time (22:35). “I think he’s had that in him the whole time,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said.

The Detroit Pistons looked to spoil that three-game win streak and they did with a 115-105 win on Sunday evening. The Pistons (12-37) grabbed their first lead of the night with 5:29 to go in the fourth quarter. Stewart and Cunningham helped power the Pistons in the fourth quarter to help the team get the lead and hold on to it. The rookie point guard had plenty of help from Saddiq Bey, who helped get the Pistons comeback going in the second quarter. The fourth-year wing scored 13 points in the first quarter to help the Pistons get back into a game.

The Winnipeg Jets will be well-rested but not as battle-tested as the Detroit Red Wings when they visit Little Caesars Arena tonight (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings, meanwhile, are coming off a three-game California trip crammed into four days after last Thursday’s game in Anaheim was moved to this past Sunday. The Red Wings are winless in three (0-1-2) but have been much better at home (12-5-2) than on the road (4-11-3). Alex Nedeljkovic is expected to start in goal for the Red Wings. You’d like to get a win in at least one.”More: How Nicklas Lidstrom can help Red Wings’ young defensemen develop

But the Chicago Bulls quickly reminded the Pistons why they were the top team in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons fell to the Bulls 133-87, just one night after erasing a 22-point deficit to beat the Utah Jazz. Like the Pistons (9-31) on Monday, the Bulls did much of their damage in the third quarter. The Pistons struggled to get things going and the Bulls continued to stretch their lead well into the fourth quarter. Then Matt Thomas knocked down a three to extend the Bulls’ lead to 40 with 6:45 remaining in the game.

The Detroit Red Wings had three days between games and a pair of practices to prepare for Saturday’s contest. But when the puck dropped, the Red Wings were ill-prepared, and it was no contest. The Kings, amazingly, outshot the Red Wings 27-2 in the first period. The Red Wings outshot L.A. 10-8 in the second period, but the Kings finished with a 42-21 edge. Alex Nedeljkovic made 38 saves to prevent the Red Wings (16-16-3) from being blown out.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings’ game against the New York Islanders Wednesday at UBS Arena has been postponed. It is the fourth consecutive Red Wings game postponed due to COVID. The Red Wings’ next scheduled game is Friday against the Washington Capitals at Little Caesars Arena (7:30 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit), their traditional New Year’s Eve game. Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said he learned of the postponement prior to getting on the ice Tuesday for the team’s third day in a row of practice. The Red Wings have six players still in protocol -- forwards Adam Erne, Sam Gagner, Lucas Raymond and Joe Veleno, and defensemen Nick Leddy and Jordan Oesterle.

Despite another great start and offensive output, the Detroit Pistons have lost back-to-back games, and hope Santa left behind some Christmas cheer when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

Two years later, Fabbri is eager to help the Detroit Red Wings rebuild after signing a three-year, $12 million extension on Monday. The Red Wings needed offense and believed Fabbri, the 21st overall pick in 2014, could provide it with opportunity. The question you ask yourself is can the player help you win long-term? “Everybody in this league plays hard but he’s played extraordinary hard, and I think that’s who he is as a person,” Blashill said. He can separate himself with that competitiveness and that’s what he’s got to do.”This is the second contract Fabbri has signed with the Red Wings.

When the Detroit Red Wings visit the St. Louis Blues tonight (8 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit), they hope to replicate the result from the first meeting between the teams two weeks prior, but not the performance. The Blues outplayed the Red Wings by a significant margin, outshooting them 37-23, but Alex Nedeljkovic’s 35-save effort led Detroit to a 4-2 victory at Little Caesars Arena. “I thought Ned stole one,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said.

They have not won more than three consecutive games since putting together a six-game winning streak from March 23-April 2, 2019. Seattle selected defenseman Dennis Cholowski from the Red Wings in the expansion draft but waived him before the start of the season. More: Emotional Red Wings address shooting at Oxford High School

DETROIT – Jeff Blashill joked about wanting to take the home crowd on the road, where his Detroit Red Wings have struggled in recent weeks. They will need to solve their road woes the old-fashioned way, by executing and outplaying the opponent. It doesn’t get more challenging than Tuesday in Boston (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit), where the Red Wings are 1-11-2 in their past 14 visits, including the playoffs. The Red Wings (10-9-3) have established themselves at home (7-2-2), but they are 1-6-1 in their past eight games away from Little Caesars Arena, 3-7-1 overall on the road.

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin joined his teammates on the ice for the morning skate today at T-Mobile Arena prior to tonight’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights (10 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit).

The NHL’s two-leading rookie scorers will be trying to defend the league’s two top scorers tonight when the Edmonton Oilers face the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit). “If Larks’ line is out against them, I have no worries in any three of those players, Bert, Larks or Raymond. If you have one line out against them it’s another challenge because of how much they play, and at times they have really long shifts. Your whole team has to be ready to play against them, but I have confidence in Lucas.”Raymond leads NHL rookies with six goals and 14 points. Somebody was showing the goal yesterday and then they went through a whole montage of goals that might rival it.

But if PETA got its way, the bizarre description for bullpen would become the norm. “Bullpen” refers to the area of a “bull’s pen” where bulls are held before they are slaughtered,” PETA wrote. Switching to “arm barn” would be a home run for baseball fans, players, and animals.”PETA proposes replacing “bullpen” with arm barn.”“Let’s liberate the language we use in baseball,” the statement concludes. Of course, MLB is very unlikely to change a term that’s been in baseball for more than 100 years. However, “arm barn” is a pretty hilarious term.

Detroit Pistons rookie guard Cade Cunningham didn’t suit up during the preseason because of an ankle injury. Cunningham has not participated fully in practice since the first week of training camp but he went through part of practice on Monday. “We don’t want to be stupid and come out and force him out there and now you’re out another month or whatever it is.”Ahead of Monday’s practice, Casey has said that he wanted the No. He added that the team would evaluate Cunningham on a day-to-day basis and would not put a set date or time frame on when Cunningham would return.

Last year’s season-opener was memorable for the wrong season, as the Detroit Red Wings played in a virtually empty Little Caesars Arena due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Red Wings will take the ice tonight in the season-opener against Tampa Bay with much more fanfare – and thousands of more fans at LCA (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit). Dylan Larkin, starting his second season as captain, is eager to experience a “normal” season-opener once again.

1 overall pick Cade Cunningham has been sidelined for several practices with a mild ankle injury and it is uncertain if he will be able to suit up. “It’s about the same he still has some fluid on his ankle and we’re going to be cautious,” head coach Dwane Casey said after practice Tuesday. Detroit will also miss the skills of Frank Jackson, who has also missed practice time with an ankle injury. Casey shared that the third-year guard injured his ankle in a practice last week as the team worked through some intense and competitive sessions. “We had a grueling week, but all the X-rays are clean,” Casey said of Cunningham and Jackson’s ankle issues.

Pius Suter’s first-period power-play goal was all the offense the Detroit Red Wings mustered Sunday in a 5-1 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena. Alex Nedeljkovic started in goal for the Red Wings and allowed four goals on 23 shots in 35:15. Kasperi Kapanen scored two goals for the Penguins (2-1). Danton Heinen had a goal and two assists while Jeff Carter and Kris Letang each scored a goal.
