Red Wings’ next coach could have an edge, NHL experience

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.

Season finale means more to Red Wings than just draft lottery implications

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.

Why Red Wings didn’t recall Jonatan Berggren this season

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.

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.

Jakub Vrana’s goal-scoring pace bodes well for Red Wings’ future

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.

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.

How Red Wings’ draft lottery odds could still be impacted

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).

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.

Red Wings trying to solve issue of ‘pucks going in’

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).

Red Wings seek to restore mental toughness as confidence wanes

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.

The Red Wings have allowed nine power-play goals on 14 opportunities in the past six games.
