The Detroit Red Wings’ fleeting playoff hopes were dealt a massive blow this weekend. The Philadelphia Flyers scored twice in the second period Sunday to take the lead and defeated the Red Wings 3-1 at Wells Fargo Center. The Red Wings (28-26-9) are winless in six (0-5-1), equaling their season-long drought from Dec. 8-19 (0-4-2). He stopped 34 shots but didn’t get much offensive support from a team that’s scored twice in the past two games. The Flyers, with the NHL’s worst power play, did not convert, but it was that much less time for the Red Wings to mount an attack.

The Detroit Red Wings have lost three in a row in regulation, including a pair in Ottawa by a combined score of 12-3. The ugly performances against the Senators were a sharp contrast to how well the Red Wings had been playing during a 7-1 run prior to this skid. “Of course, a missed opportunity, especially with the way we’ve been playing of late, where we were in the standings. Big opportunity that we missed.”The Red Wings (28-24-8) and Ottawa (30-28-4) are now tied with Washington with 64 points. More: Red Wings lock up Jake Walman for three years

The Detroit Red Wings were too loose defensively Monday, and the Ottawa Senators capitalized. The Red Wings (28-23-8, 64 points) have lost back-to-back games in regulation for the first time since Jan. 27-Feb. 7. Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde opted to start backup Magnus Hellberg, who usually plays the second night on back-to-backs. Tyler Bertuzzi and David Perron scored for the Red Wings. Perron’s power-play goal, his 15th, put the Red Wings ahead 2-1 at 5:11 of the second.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings discovered a winning formula on the road and brought it home with them on Thursday. The Red Wings (28-21-8) have 64 points, tying them with Florida for the second wild card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Zadina snapped a 1-1 tie at 8:18 of the second period with his second goal in 16 games this season. The Red Wings then took over and closed it out. Husso’s biggest stop was a highlight-reel skate save on Adam Fox with 2:40 remaining in the second period to preserve a 2-1 lead.

The Detroit Red Wings were sluggish in the first period Thursday. What seemed like fantasy a couple of weeks ago now is reality – the Red Wings (25-20-8) are the thick of the playoff chase. The Red Wings haven’t won six in a row since late in the 2018-19 season and Perron’s message is to “keep the foot on the gas.”“You can’t ease off,” he said. The Red Wings are 8 for 18 on the power play during this streak, moving up to 14th in the NHL at 21.9 percent. I think our guys, it kind of woke them up a little bit.”More: Red Wings pulled in same direction with Larkin, Seider leading the way

The Detroit Red Wings have quickly closed the gap in the playoff race. Strong performances from several players Thursday lifted the Red Wings past the Calgary Flames 5-2 at the Saddledome for their fifth consecutive victory, a season-high. The Red Wings swept the Western Canada portion of their season-long five-game trip and all five victories in this run have come against Western Canada clubs. The Red Wings scored twice on the power play, which has converted in five consecutive games, going 8 for 18. Kubalik’s second of the game and 16th of the season snapped a 2-2 tie at 15:21 of the second period, giving the Red Wings the lead for good.

The Detroit Red Wings finally are gaining traction, at the expense of Western Canada clubs. Ville Husso made 41 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped 4-of-5 shooters in the shootout Wednesday as the Red Wings defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 at Rogers Place. The Red Wings (25-20-8) equaled their season-high four-game winning streak from Nov. 17-25. The Oilers outshot the Red Wings 33-14 in the second and third periods combined. Each team scored twice in the second period and the Red Wings emerged with a 4-2 lead.

Robby Fabbri scored at 2:36 of overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings need more scoring and better special teams to snap a three-game losing streak tonight against one of the hottest teams in the league. “Now it’s up to us to flip on these tight games and put it in the win column.”The Red Wings (16-15-7) have scored only four goals during this slide. They are 1 for 15 on the power play the past four games and have allowed eight power-play goals over six games. Usually when you get a power play, someone had a great effort, got hooked or something happened that they created some momentum for the group to have a power play. You can go back five-on-five and keep putting pressure on them.”Ville Husso will start in goal for the Red Wings.

DETROIT – When Detroit Red Wings forward David Perron learned that Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during Monday night’s game in Cincinnati, he was reminded of a similarly frightening incident nearly three years ago. “Still to this day that was my first thought when I saw it last night, was Jay Bouwmeester,” Perron said. Bouwmeester, a star defenseman, had a procedure three days later to restore his heart’s natural rhythm but never played again. The game was postponed, and the Red Wings got word shortly after from the hospital that Fischer was going to be fine. Hamlin’s situation hits home with Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde.

Jake Walman scored at 2:13 of overtime and the Detroit Red Wings overcame an early four-goal deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 on Wednesday night.

PITTSBURGH — Jake Walman scored at 2:13 of overtime and the Detroit Red Wings overcame an early four-goal deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 on Wednesday night. Walman, off the rush, tipped a rebound behind goaltender Casey DeSmith for his second goal of the season. The Penguins started strong with four goals on 12 first-period shots. Joe Veleno and Jonatan Berggren also scored to help the Red Wings win consecutive games following a six-game losing streak. Magnus Hellberg relieved Ville Husso in the second period and made 19 saves.

DETROIT – As Alex Ovechkin chases history, the Detroit Red Wings hopes it doesn’t happen at their expense. Containing Ovechkin not only increases the Red Wings’ chances of stopping their five-game slide (0-4-1), it would be sort of a hat tip to all-time Detroit great Gordie Howe, coach Derek Lalonde said. He can tie or pass Mr. Hockey on Monday when his Washington Capitals face the Red Wings at Capital One Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). “Sometimes it’s funny, he’s just kind of standing there and he gets the puck and one shot,” Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso said. He won’t be available (Monday) and then re-evaluate and go from there.”The Red Wings waived forward Austin Czarnik Sunday.

DALLAS (AP) — Nils Lundkvist scored with 31 seconds left in overtime and the Dallas Stars beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Saturday. David Perron scored a goal for Detroit in his 1,000th career NHL game. The Stars won late in overtime for the second time in less than 48 hours. They had been been 0-5 in games past regulation before a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Thursday night, when Tyler Seguin scored with 29 seconds left in OT. ... Robertson’s 19th assist came after he went without a point the previous two games to end his Dallas Stars’ record 18-game points streak.

Dominik Kubalik and Lucas Raymond scored power-play goals and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Sunday night to end a three-game losing streak.

Jack Quinn scored the only goal in a shootout, Dylan Cozens had the second two-goal game of his career and the Buffalo Sabres held off the Detroit Red Wings 5-4.

For a while there, it looked like that would be the highlight of a disastrous night for the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings went 0 for 7 on the power play, including a five-on-three for 1:27 in the final three minutes of regulation. They are 2-0 against the Red Wings this season. 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.

“I love his game,” Perron said. “I think he’s trying to find his game,” coach Derek Lalonde said. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of difference between a lot of our forward lines right now. The guys know he’s going to bounce back the next time he’s in there.”The Sabres (9-12-1) have gone 2-9-1 following a hot start (7-3-0) that included an 8-3 victory over the Red Wings on Oct. 31. Do the Red Wings analyze what went wrong in that game, or do they just flush it?

Moritz Seider scored the tiebreaking goal with 6:06 to play and the Detroit Red Wings overcame a four-point game from Erik Karlsson to beat the San Jose Sharks 7-4.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Moritz Seider scored the tiebreaking goal with 6:06 to play and the Detroit Red Wings overcame a four-point game from Erik Karlsson to beat the San Jose Sharks 7-4 on Thursday night.

BOUGHNER’S RETURNFormer Sharks coach Bob Boughner returned to San Jose for the first time since being fired after last season. Boughner, now an associate coach for Detroit, was acknowledged on the video board in the second period.

The Red Wings (7-3-2) have 16 points, the most they have had through a dozen games since 2010-11 (8-3-1, 17 points).

The Red Wings dominated special teams, getting power-play goals from Dominik Kubalik, who also had two assists, Dylan Larkin and David Perron. “Alex Tanguay, Jay Varady, they worked really hard on the power play – those adjustments even in personnel were all them. He’s good on that half-wall in getting us out of trouble, where now we’re set up again.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings’ special teams have been abysmal for much of the past several seasons. The Red Wings won the special teams battle Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks for a 5-1 victory at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings (3-0-2) have gained points in each of their first five games under new coach Derek Lalonde. Perron put the Red Wings ahead 2-1 at 13:28 of the first by blasting in a one-timer for his team-leading fourth goal in five games. The Red Wings killed a five-on-three power play that lasted 1:41 leading up to the first intermission.

The Red Wings (2-0-1) have gained five out of six points and the newcomers are having a significant impact. I think they’ve accepted that challenge, or that reality of why they chose to come here. Huge buy-in.”Larkin anticipated a deeper team with a higher compete level following the signings, and that is what he is seeing. “We’ve added established players that play a hard game, play a physical game, play the right way.

That hustle earned the Detroit Red Wings a point Monday and Larkin some praise from his new coach following a 5-4 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Little Caesars Arena. It’s a good message to everyone.”Larkin’s tremendous poke-check came with 1:34 remaining in the third period, after the Red Wings pulled goaltender Ville Husso for the extra skater. Phillip Danault scored his second goal of the game at 1:12 of OT to send the Red Wings to their first loss (2-0-1), but they were pleased to pull a point out of nowhere. But to come back three times, to score late, to trail the game in the third and get a point, pretty good sign. Really give credit to our guys for getting one point.”More: Red Wings’ depth to be tested with loss of key player for four-to-six weeks

Johnny Gaudreau leaving Calgary for Columbus headlined a busy offseason of player movement around the NHL.

David Perron is the oldest and most experienced player on the relatively young Detroit Red Wings, and apparently the most vocal, on the ice and in the room. First-year coach Derek Lalonde and third-year captain Dylan Larkin will lean on Perron’s leadership ability. The Red Wings signed Perron to a two-year, $9.5 million free-agent deal because of his offensively ability. “For me at the stage of my career I’m at I want to be a difference-maker on the ice,” Perron said. “That was definitely my bread and butter in St. Louis,” Perron said.

An ineffective power play has cost the Detroit Red Wings many games over the past six seasons. “A team that goes on a good run on the power play usually starts the year pretty well,” Perron said. Perron provides another right-handed shooting option on the power play, along with Lucas Raymond and point men Moritz Seider and Filip Hronek. Beyond the power play, Perron should help boost the offense, coming off a 27-goal season (in 67 games), his most productive since 2013-14. Some of those little experiences I can bring, and this team is definitely ready to compete for the playoffs on a regular basis, and who knows what could happen from there.”More:Projecting Red Wings’ season-opening line combinationsProjecting Red Wings’ season-opening defense pairs

The Detroit Red Wings general manager used $20 million of his roughly $30 million in cap space for a signing spree that addressed many needs and changed the look of the team to some degree. The big move was signing Ann Arbor native and University of Michigan product Andrew Copp for five years at $5.625 million per season. The Red Wings should score more, be tighter defensively and improve in special teams. The Red Wings are deeper and more skilled. Copp, Perron and Chiarot spoke with the media, and all said the same thing – this team is ready for the next step.
