While Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman is searching for a head coach, he also has decisions to make with his roster, including players whose contracts have expired. Many changes are inevitable any offseason, particularly for a team that faded the final two months, going 9-18-4 and finishing second-to-last in the NHL in goals against per game (3.73).

The Detroit Red Wings haven’t had a Calder Trophy winner as NHL’s top rookie since 1965. Seider was named Wednesday as a Calder Trophy finalist, along with Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Michael Bunting and Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras. Red Wings left wing Lucas Raymond missed the cut. 6 pick in 2019, provided more offense than the Red Wings anticipated. Goaltender Roger Crozier was the most recent Red Wing to win the Calder (1964-65 season).

The Detroit Red Wings did not move up in Tuesday’s NHL draft lottery, but at least they didn’t drop any spots, like they have in four of the five previous lotteries. The Red Wings will select eighth overall, consistent with their place in the standings (eighth from the bottom). The Red Wings (32-40-10) were assured of a top-10 pick for the sixth year in a row. They had only a 6 percent chance of winning the lottery and a 6.4 percent chance of finishing second. The draft is July 7 (first round) and 8 (Rounds 2 through 7) at Montreal’s Belle Centre.

The NHL Draft Lottery will be held on Tuesday night, with the draft scheduled for July.

The Detroit Red Wings have had no draft lottery luck, just the opposite. They will take part in the NHL draft lottery for the sixth year in a row on Tuesday (6:30 p.m., ESPN) and hope to move up for the first time. The Red Wings, after finishing eighth from the bottom (32-40-10), have a 6 percent chance of winning the lottery for the first overall selection and a 6.4 percent chance of landing the No. The Red Wings can’t select from third to seventh.

The New York Islanders fired head coach Barry Trotz on Monday after the team missed the playoffs. Could he be a fit for the Red Wings?

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.

The Red Wings announced Saturday that Jeff Blashill is out after seven seasons, a move that was inevitable following the team’s rapid decline the final two months. The Red Wings’ goal for 2022-23 should be to finish at least .500 and stay in the postseason picture late into the season. Here is a look at pros and cons of 10 potential candidates as next Red Wings head coach:Rikard Gronborg (age 53): Former Swedish national coach and current coach of the ZSC Lions in Switzerland.

The airing of grievances and expressions of frustrations which commonly followed each of the Sabres' previous 10 losing seasons were notably absent on Saturday. At a time Buffalo set an NHL record by missing the playoffs for an 11th straight year, the mood was unmistakably upbeat among players gathering one final time. “It’s definitely a different feeling this year,” said forward Zemgus Girgensons, the team’s longest-tenured player after completing his eighth season in Buffalo.

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

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 turned in the type of staunch defensive performance Sunday they anticipated would be more common this season. Alex Nedeljovic needed to make only 17 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and the Red Wings defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-0 at the Prudential Center. The Red Wings are 3-0 in offside challenges and 6-3 in total challenges.

All members of the Canadiens organization are devastated by his passing. “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of hockey icon, Guy Lafleur,” the team tweeted. Shortly after the 1984-85 season got underway, Lafleur shocked the hockey world with the news that he had decided to retire.

The Detroit Red Wings, like the rest of the NHL, couldn’t slow down the Florida Panthers on Thursday. Florida scored three goals in the first period to take control of the game and got 28 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky to defeat the Red Wings 5-2 at FLA Live Arena. Florida swept the four-game season series from the Red Wings (30-38-10), outscoring them 20-7. The Red Wings cut Florida’s lead to 3-2 when Bertuzzi scored his 28th of the season at 6:15. The Red Wings got off to a good start from Gagner fired in a wrist shot from the slot 4:08 into the game.

Al Sobotka said the Detroit Red Wings employee who turned him in for urinating in a drain while working has taken over as the team’s new Zamboni driver since Sobotka’s termination.

Former Detroit Red Wings Zamboni driver Al Sobotka spoke one-on-one with Local 4 about the urinating incident, being fired by the team, his current mental state and whether he would go back to his old job, if asked.

Longtime Zamboni driver Al Sobotka was fired by the Detroit Red Wings because he urinated into an ice pit while working, according to a wrongful termination lawsuit.

Yzerman realized that wasn’t going to be the case when he returned to the Detroit Red Wings in 2019, replacing longtime GM Ken Holland. The Red Wings have ample salary cap space to make moves this offseason, if they can attract a higher-end free agent. Yzerman then surprised many by taking big German defenseman Moritz Seider with his first pick as Red Wings GM. He could become the Red Wings’ first Calder Trophy winner since Roger Crozier in 1965. He did what only one other recent Red Wings pick (Dylan Larkin) has done – reached the NHL without a stint with the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins.

The team is controlled by majority owner David Bonderman who paid a $650 million expansion fee to join the league.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings contained Florida in the first period Sunday, then the Panthers showed why they are the hottest and most explosive team in the NHL. Pius Suter spoiled Knight’s shutout bid with 7:56 remaining in the third period, scoring his 14th goal. This is the 14th time the Red Wings have allowed six or more goals. The Red Wings (29-37-10) are halfway through a rugged six-game stretch against several of the top teams in the league. The Panthers’ second-period outburst featured a pair of goals 1:30 apart early and then two more just 28 seconds apart later.

That’s up for debate, but here’s the 10 ex-Wolverines with the most NHL goals. Larkin, who has played 501 career games, has reached at least 16 goals in all but one of his seven NHL seasons. 6: Andrew Cogliano, 174 goalsCogliano leads all former Wolverines with 1,131 NHL games played, but his goal-scoring has dwindled later in his career. Still, the smooth-skating 34-year-old has carved out a solid NHL career as a reliable forward at both ends of the ice. 2: Mike Cammalleri, 294 goalsThe 2001 second-round pick of the Los Angeles career went on to a solid 15-year NHL career, playing with five organizations.

The exodus of Michigan hockey NHL draft picks leaving for the pros continued Wednesday. Junior forward Johnny Beecher, 21, became the eighth Wolverine and fifth first-round pick to depart this offseason, signing an amateur tryout agreement with the Boston Bruins. The 6-foot-3, 209-pound center will immediately join the Providence Bruins, Boston’s American Hockey League affiliate, according to general manager Don Sweeney. “The Bruins and Johnny are leaving all options open with regards to his availability for the remainder of this season and playoffs.

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

Three of Michigan’s four top-five picks in the 2021 NHL Draft are now in the NHL. Sophomore forward Matty Beniers, selected second overall, became the third when he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Seattle Kraken on Sunday, the team announced. 1 overall pick by the Buffalo Sabres, sophomore forward Kent Johnson, drafted No. The quartet combined for 141 points this season for Michigan, which earned the No. “We’re excited to officially welcome Matty to our organization,” Kraken general manager Ron Francis said in a statement.

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

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings ended one of their roughest stretches of the season Tuesday, at the expense of one of the hotter teams in the NHL. The Red Wings (27-34-9) battled back from a two-goal first-period deficit and snapped a six-game losing streak (0-4-2) with their first win since March 22. The Red Wings killed all four Boston power plays. The Red Wings scored two unanswered goals and killed two penalties in the second period to take a 3-2 lead. The Red Wings failed to score on a pair of power plays in the first period and even allowed a shorthanded goal.

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.

NHL prospect Pavel Mintyukov is finishing his first Ontario Hockey League season on a high note, claiming the OHL Defenseman of the Month award for March. The 18-year-old Saginaw Spirit standout finished March with five goals and 10 assists for 15 points to lead all OHL defensemen, registering three multi-point games in March. Mintyukov, who played in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects game, is the fifth-ranked North American skater in the NHL Central Scouting’s Midterm Draft Rankings. Mintyukov has 15 goals, 38 assists and 53 points in 60 games, becoming one of only six defensemen in Spirit history to eclipse the 50-point mark. Saginaw has just seven games remaining in the 2021-22 season, including five at the Dow Event Center.

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.

That makes the 27-year run of labor peace that ended with the ongoing MLB lockout all the more remarkable. Until owners locked out players on Dec. 1 of last year, the league had not endured a work stoppage in 27 years. During that span of labor peace, all three of the other major American sports leagues went through at least one work stoppage. The 1981 strike lasted two months in the heart of the summer and wiped out about a third of the games. The current lockout -- now the second-longest work stoppage in MLB history -- would have to last until July to reach the length of the 1994-1995 dispute.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings were frustrated and their fans irate after they dropped to fourth in the 2020 draft lottery despite finishing with by far the worst record in the NHL.

But when Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill moved Tyler Bertuzzi onto the line with Pius Suter and Robby Fabbri a month to create an all-Guelph Storm line, it wasn’t a novelty act.
