Red Wings look to stop skid against Lightning in Jeff Blashill’s return

Blashill, the Red Wings head coach for seven seasons from 2015-2022, returns to Detroit tonight as an assistant coach for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Red Wings (13-11-7) will try to stop a six-game skid (0-4-2). The Red Wings haven’t won since their 4-2 victory at Tampa Bay on Dec. 6. The Red Wings hired Lalonde as head coach on June 30 and Blashill joined head coach Jon Cooper’s staff on July 12. Until this season, he was the only head coach many current Red Wings, including captain Dylan Larkin, have had in the NHL.

Five priorities for new Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde

He enters a much different situation as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings, faced with the tough task of accelerating a rebuild that began more than five years ago and hit a rough patch the final two months of the 2021-22 season. The Red Wings have missed the playoffs six years in a row and have ranked at or near the bottom of the NHL in offense, defense and special teams in recent seasons. Lalonde must instill a defensive mindset and implement a system where the team doesn’t allow as many scoring chances. Make team harder to play againstFrom bad starts to late collapses, the Red Wings lacked fortitude and resilience during their season-ending 9-18-4 stretch that included losses by scores of 9-2, 11-2 and 7-2.

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).

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.

Red Wings encouraged by slow, steady progress on 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.
