DETROIT – Scratch Lane Lambert as a possible head coach of the Detroit Red Wings. Blashill’s contract with the Red Wings was not renewed after seven seasons behind the Detroit bench.

Morning 4 is a quick roundup of stories we think you should know about to start your day.

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman talked to the media on Monday, just two days after announcing the firing of head coach Jeff Blashill.

Speaking Monday, two days after releasing Jeff Blashill, the Detroit Red Wings general manager said he is open-minded and will do much due diligence. Assistant Alex Tanguay, hired before the season, will remain on staff, Yzerman said. “I worked with the coaching staff for three years, there’s been a lot of good things done,” Yzerman said. With a new coaching staff coming in, with some potential changes, my expectation will be that we’re going to improve in that area.”Yzerman said the move does not reflect Blashill’s coaching ability. More:Pros and cons of potential coaching candidatesMight Red Wings seek a hard-driving coach?

The Detroit Red Wings celebrated the return of Steve Yzerman three years ago, expecting one of their all-time greats to turn around the franchise as general manager.

The next Detroit Red Wings coach figures to be much different than Jeff Blashill, at least in personality and demeanor. The Red Wings expected a long and painful rebuild after a 25-season playoff streak, but Yzerman clearly did not see enough progress this season. Plus, after seven seasons, which is an eternity for an NHL coach, a new voice was needed. Of course, one of the many issues in that scenario is trying to get free agents to sign with the Red Wings. Regardless of who’s in charge, the Red Wings need more talent.

The Detroit Red Wings have fired coach Jeff Blashill after seven seasons behind the bench.

The Detroit Red Wings announced Saturday that the team will not renew contracts for its head coach or two other coaches.

After the Detroit Red Wings capped a rough two-month stretch with a gratifying season-ending 5-3 victory at New Jersey Friday, Jeff Blashill was looking ahead. Family time was foremost on his mind, not his own future, which remains in doubt following seven seasons as Red Wings coach. “We’ve just been focused on the season,” Blashill said. The Red Wings did not announce Blashill’s contract extension until 10 days after their season finale a year ago. More:Hellberg hopes to be part of Red Wings’ futureRed Wings’ draft lottery odds set

The Detroit Red Wings celebrated the return of Steve Yzerman three years ago, expecting one of their all-time greats to turn around the franchise as general manager. Looking to shake up the rebuild, Yzerman fired coach Jeff Blashill after on Saturday. Blashill had a .447 points percentage, the second-worst in the league over his seven seasons — not counting the debut season of the expansion Seattle Kraken.

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 Detroit Red Wings wrap up the season Friday in New Jersey in what could be Jeff Blashill’s final game as head coach. The Red Wings (31-40-10, .444 points percentage) are assured of finishing with a better points percentage than last season (.429). The Red Wings were doing fine two-thirds of the way through the season at 24-24-6. Since then, the Red Wings have gone 7-16-3 and haven’t been competitive in several games, including embarrassing losses to Arizona (9-2) and Pittsburgh (11-2). The Red Wings might wind up with no high-impact players in four consecutive drafts, which will stagnate any rebuild.

The Detroit Red Wings matched Moritz Seider against Auston Matthews as often as they could on Tuesday. It helped bring out the best in Seider, who on Friday in New Jersey will complete the finest season for a Red Wings rookie in arguably three decades. “I think he’s gotten better in knowing when to try to make a play and when to live another day,” Blashill said. It’s a strong quality because it backs off the forecheckers a little bit.”Said Seider: “I just try to protect myself. “He’s running our power play, he’s playing big minutes defensively, penalty kill, you name it, he does it all for us.

The Red Wings shuffled many forwards back and forth from Grand Rapids to Detroit this season, but Jonatan Berggren wasn’t one of them. Even with the Griffins eliminated from playoff contention last weekend, the Red Wings have opted not to recall Berggren for the final two games. They signed Turner Elson to an NHL contract for the rest of the season, and he will make his Red Wings debut tonight in Toronto (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit Extra). “Berggren’s had a good year down there,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “At the end of the day, the decision on Jonatan Berggren is a decision made on what’s best for his individual development.

Will the Detroit Red Wings’ late-season slide prompt general manager Steve Yzerman to be more aggressive in altering the roster this summer? The Red Wings could use two top-nine forwards, a couple of defensemen and a goaltender. However, do you think this decline at the season’s end will make it difficult for Yzerman to land good free agents? The Red Wings will want a veteran goalie to pair with him there, whether that’s Calvin Pickard or someone else. Q: “Too bad the Red Wings didn’t sign Keith Petruzzelli and not insist that he went back to college.

Aleksander Barkov scored his 38th goal of the season and the Florida Panthers tied a franchise record with their 12th straight win, beating the Detroit Red Wings 5-2.

It has excited them for what the future can hold, for what Vrana can do during a full season. It would be difficult to maintain that pace, but it would project to 51 goals in an 82-game season. “A 40-goal season?” Vrana, 26, said. The Red Wings wonder what might have been had he not reaggravated a previous shoulder injury 10 minutes into his first on-ice practice in training camp. “That’s another thing I’m looking forward to, to go to the camp and just go through all the things,” Vrana said.

The Detroit Red Wings were facing a team that has dominated them and a goaltender they had never beaten. The Red Wings had other ideas, turning in a gritty, gutsy effort in a 4-3 victory over the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena. “It was a really good performance,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. You can’t let yourself down mentally, whatever happens out there.”It was the Red Wings’ first game after Dylan Larkin had core muscle surgery on Monday, ending his season. The Red Wings (30-37-10) bounced back from lackluster weekend performances against the Rangers (4-0 loss) and Florida (6-1 loss).

Now the Detroit Red Wings will see what he can do in a prime role. “I think he’s had decent opportunity through the season, but this is even (more) increased. Ultimately, Joe Veleno needs to establish that he’s a good two-way player before he worries about more offense. If the Red Wings aren’t satisfied, other first-line center options are moving Pius Suter up from the second line or giving Michael Rasmussen a look. The Red Wings in recent weeks have opted for Taro Hirose, Kyle Criscuolo, Chase Pearson and Riley Barber instead of Jonatan Berggren.

Anton Lundell scored twice and the Florida Panthers extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 6-1 rout of the Detroit Red Wings.

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. The Swedish native Hellberg, who is signed for only the remainder of the season, said it was a “no-brainer” when the Red Wings called.

“Anytime you can get a shutout in this league it’s always special,” Nedeljkovic said. The Red Wings (29-35-10) surprised a Carolina club that is third overall in the league and battling for the Metropolitan Division lead. I was given an opportunity here to play a lot of games and I’m very excited with the opportunity. “It’s been a great opportunity to play a lot of games,” Nedeljkovic said. You’re not going to have your best every night.”Blashill did not plan to have Nedeljkovic play this much.

Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill has been named an assistant coach for Team USA at the World Championship. Buffalo Sabres coach Don Granato and Minnesota State coach Mike Hastings also were named assistants under David Quinn, who previously was announced as head coach. He has the most career victories for a U.S. head coach at the Worlds. Blashill, after Thursday’s morning skate in Carolina, said Hellberg will join the Red Wings for practice Friday in New York. “We’ll take this day by day and see what tomorrow brings.”The Red Wings signed Hellberg on Wednesday for the remainder of the season.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings’ record could take a hit during a rugged six-game stretch that starts Thursday at Carolina. The Red Wings (28-35-10) have 66 points, one more than Buffalo, but six more than the next-lowest team, Ottawa. Ninth would be the Red Wings’ most likely draft position (58.6 percent), followed by 10th (27.6 percent). If the Sabres finish ahead of the Red Wings, Detroit’s chances of landing the top pick improve only slightly to 5.8 percent and its best odds would be eighth (49.4 percent). We got to make sure we’re good every single night and certainly we’re going to get tested.”More: Red Wings sign Swedish goaltender out of KHL

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).

DETROIT – Sam Gagner played for eight teams in a span of six seasons, between the NHL and AHL, before finding stability in Detroit, and the Red Wings have valued his experience, leadership and two-way play. Young, rebuilding teams need veterans like Gagner, and he hopes to be around for better days. “Certainly, I’ve really enjoyed my time here,” Gagner said. “The main thing is trying to help this group get better and that’s kind of been my mindset all year,” Gagner said. “I want to keep trying to help this team grow and ultimately reach our goals.”More: Red Wings say arc of franchise headed in right direction

The Red Wings were one game over .500, excluding overtime/shootout losses, on Feb. 23. But in the end, we’re out of the playoffs again.”The Red Wings were officially eliminated from playoff contention Saturday, prior to their 5-4 overtime loss to Columbus. “There’s no doubt that the arc of the franchise is headed in the right direction,” Blashill said. It’s still another season not in the playoffs.”The Red Wings at least were in the postseason conversation through mid-February, which hasn’t happened in years. “This year we went into games expecting to win,” Larkin said.

The Detroit Red Wings tonight can accomplish something they have done only twice this season – win three consecutive games. The Red Wings, following back-to-back wins over Boston and Winnipeg, face the Columbus Blue Jackets at Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit). Detroit hasn’t won three in a row since a five-game winning streak from Nov. 24 to Dec. 4. The Red Wings (28-34-9) got strong goaltending from Alex Nedeljkovic (career-high 47 saves vs. Bruins) and Thomas Greiss (32 stops against the Jets) and strong penalty killing (7 for 7 in both games combined) to win back-to-back for the first time since Feb. 9-12. The Blue Jackets (33-33-6) have gone 1-5-3 in their past nine to fall out of playoff contention.

The Detroit Red Wings have been out of the playoff conversation for weeks, lately just trying to avoid freefalling. The Red Wings completed a difficult back-to-back sweep by beating the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 at Canada Life Centre. “Every back-to-back is not the same … and this is a more difficult one for sure,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. The Red Wings were much stronger in the final two periods. I think a lot of guys and probably specifically some young guys have really raised their game.”More: Red Wings record rare back-to-back wins

Sam Gagner scored twice to top 500 career points, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 Wednesday night.

Sam Gagner scored twice to top 500 career points, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1.

Their 5-3 victory over the Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena stopped a six-game skid (0-4-2). “One good win is not all the sudden going to make everything better, if you don’t go out the next night and play well,” coach Jeff Blashill said. We got to dig in and find a way to play really good and win a hockey game. Dylan Larkin scored his 30th goal. “They were running around and good for our guys sticking up for each other and keeping their heads up,” Larkin said.

Jakub Vrána had a goal and an assist, Alex Nedeljkovic made a season-high 47 saves and had an assist, and the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Boston Bruins 5-3 on Tuesday night.

The Detroit Red Wings loved how things were going until right around Valentine’s Day. “I look around and I don’t see a lot of joy, I don’t see a lot of guys having fun,” Larkin said after Sunday’s 5-2 loss at Ottawa. “We need to change that and enjoy playing hockey.”The Red Wings (26-34-9) are winless in six (0-4-2), equaling a season-long skid. We got to find a way to get something positive.”The Red Wings host the Boston Bruins Tuesday (7:30 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit) and visit the Winnipeg Jets the next night in a tough back-to-back. Enjoy being in a one-goal game and playing the right way.”The Red Wings turned Sunday’s contest into a one-goal game when Larkin scored with 7:25 to play in the third period.

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.

Being 26th in the NHL on the power play is nothing to celebrate, but an area that has plagued the Detroit Red Wings for years has shown improvement over a long stretch. The Red Wings scored twice on the man-advantage in Wednesday’s 5-4 overtime loss to the New York Rangers and will try to maintain that momentum tonight against the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena (7:30, Bally Sports Detroit). The Red Wings are 21 for 92 on the power play since Jan. 8, a respectable 22.8 percent. “It’s going to be right at that edge if not into (next season),” Blashill said. “I think he’s gaining confidence, he’s skating good,” Blashill said.

DETROIT – While one young Detroit Red Wings defenseman, Moritz Seider, is flourishing, two others, Filip Hronek and Gustav Lindstrom, are regressing. “Some guys are always on that edge; if you have a good game, you’re in, if you don’t, you might not be. “I think there was a definite possibility that he wasn’t going to play again the rest of the season,” Blashill said. “He’s continued to be what he is and that’s a really good pro. It’s important to remember Danny came in and did a really good job in this organization for a long time.

Should the Detroit Red Wings recall him before the season ends? “What I like about him being there is he’s got some stability, he knows where he’s playing tomorrow night, he knows who he’s playing with, he knows his role and not sitting there wondering, ‘Am I getting called up? That’s important. The Red Wings drafted Berggren (5-11, 195) 33rd overall in 2018, three spots after taking Joe Veleno. “I think Berggren’s grown through the course of the year,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said.

This is a good time for the Detroit Red Wings to take a closer look at some of their younger players – expand their ice time, move them up in the lineup, see what they do on special teams. So now you got 18 games left and some young guys, (due to) injuries, are needed in more prime roles. The Red Wings (25-31-7) host Tampa Bay (39-18-6) on Saturday (12:30, Bally Sports Detroit). Guys are going to have to go out and play against good players, like you do when you go on the road against Pittsburgh.”The Red Wings visit the Penguins on Sunday. Memories of fight nightBlashill grew up in Michigan a huge Red Wings fan and recalls their memorable fight night with bitter rival Colorado 25 years ago on Saturday.

Oskar Sundqvist and Jake Walman became Detroit Red Wings about 36 hours before puck drop Tuesday. Walman didn’t figure in the scoring but showed the skating ability and shooting mentality the Red Wings hope will boost their beleaguered defense. He’s super-comfortable in his own skin, knows what he’s good at, knows how to win hockey games. “Then the trade deadline there’s angst involved, whether it’s you potentially being traded, or everybody doesn’t know what’s going on.

Jeff and I will sit down at some point and talk about where we’re going with our team and what we need to do. But I don’t think this is the time to discuss our coaching staff or our coach.”The Red Wings had to be pleased with their progress through mid-February. Blashill’s record behind the Red Wings bench is 197-251-69.

The Detroit Red Wings head into Monday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline mired in their worst slump of the season. “We’ve got guys that got to play better,” coach Jeff Blashill said after Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. But he has played well, and the Red Wings value his defensive ability and leadership, so they might be inclined to re-sign him rather than trade him. The Red Wings also have ample cap space they can use to facilitate trades involving teams that are tight against the cap. “We got to find our footing and get through the trade deadline and get better here.”More:If Red Wings opt for bigger deal, three who could be in playTyler Bertuzzi dismisses trade talk, committed to Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings are sellers at the trade deadline for the sixth year in a row, leading to some anxiety among veteran players in the final year of their contracts. there’s These guys are humans, consequences to trades, moving to different teams, different cities, new friends. There’s a lot that goes into it.”The Red Wings conclude a four-game trip Saturday at Seattle (10 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit), their final game before the trade deadline. Forward Vladislav Namestnikov and defenseman Troy Stecher are other players slated to become unrestricted free agents after the season who the Red Wings might look to move. The Red Wings didn’t appear distracted on Thursday, snapping a season-long six-game losing streak (0-5-1) behind a 43-save performance from Alex Nedeljkovic and Pius Suter’s second-period goal.

The Detroit Red Wings have faced one uphill battle after another in recent games. Slow starts have contributed to a season-long six-game skid (0-5-1), and the issue goes back even further:The Red Wings trailed 3-1 after the first period against Toronto, Florida and Arizona. You can’t start hockey games like that.”A better start once again will be the focus when the Red Wings face Vancouver tonight at Rogers Arena (10 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit).

The Detroit Red Wings could count on at least one goaltender for strong play at any given time in recent years. The Red Wings battled back from a three-goal deficit to tie it in the third period but lost 7-5, extending their losing streak to a season-high six games (0-5-1). The Red Wings have allowed 60 goals in their past 11 games (5.45 per game). The Red Wings rank second-to-last in the league in goals-against per game (3.77), only slightly better than Montreal (3.82). Tuesday’s game was another contest the Red Wings could have won with a timely save or two.

The Detroit Red Wings are mired in their worst stretch of the season, and coach Jeff Blashill said there is no doubt the team’s confidence is waning. The Red Wings rank second-to-last in the NHL in goals against per game (3.71) and on the PK, which has allowed nine goals on 14 power-play opportunities in the past five games. The Red Wings are just trying to avoid a complete collapse with more than a quarter of the season remaining. “When that light gets dimmer at the end of the tunnel, sometimes the frustration sets in a bit,” Blashill said. “We talked about it going into the Minnesota game – there’s going to be bad things that happen,” Blashill said.

It was the first period in the first stop of a four-game trip Saturday and the Detroit Red Wings already looked tired and worn down. Calgary is one of the best teams in the NHL, but the task doesn’t get much easier Tuesday in Edmonton (9 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit Plus), when the Red Wings face two of the top players in the league in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (ranked first and third in points). “When you’re without Bert, without Fabbs, other guys got to step up,” Blashill said. “Our top guys got to player better, but our other guys got to play better. The Red Wings have allowed nine power-play goals on 14 opportunities in the past six games.

DETROIT – Robby Fabbri resurrected his career with the Detroit Red Wings following two major knee surgeries as a young forward with the St. Louis Blues.
