VALTTERI FILPPULA

NBC is offering streams of the 2022 Winter Games.

Valtteri Filppula has signed with Geneve-Servette HC of the Swiss National League. 🇨🇭

Filppula, the longtime Detroit Red Wings forward, signed a one-year contract with Geneve-Servette of the Swiss Hockey League on Tuesday. Filppula, 37, returned to the Red Wings in 2019, after five seasons with Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and the New York Islanders. “When we approached Valtteri, he was immediately interested in the project,” Geneve-Servette general manager Marc Gautschi said in a statement. Drafted 95th overall by Detroit in 2002, he played in 591 games with the Red Wings (112 goals, 287 points). Filppula and Darren Helm, who signed a one-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche, were the last remaining Red Wings from the 2008 Stanley Cup championship team.

The only players from the Detroit Red Wings’ most recent Stanley Cup championship team who played in the NHL this season face an uncertain future. Darren Helm and Valtteri Filppula have played a combined 1,335 games for the Red Wings but might have appeared in their final game for the organization. The Red Wings might swap out Helm for a younger player like Givani Smith. Smith no longer is waiver-exempt in 2021-22, so he will be on the Red Wings roster. And he really did play his best hockey at the end of the year.”More: What the Red Wings’ expansion draft protected list might look like

Detroit increased its playoff streak to 22 seasons, the longest active streak at the time.

Max Domi scored 4:39 into overtime to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 in the season finale for both teams.

The Detroit Red Wings wrap up what has been one of the most bizarre seasons in NHL history tonight in Columbus, needing one point to avoid the Central Division cellar. The Red Wings are 6-4-3 in their past 13 games, due mostly to strong goaltending and solid defense. It figures be the final game in a Red Wings uniform for some players. Helm, 34, has the longest continuous service among Red Wings, having made his NHL debut on March 13, 2008. While the Red Wings and many other teams wrap up this weekend, the regular season continues through May 19 because of postponements caused by COVID protocol, particularly involving the Vancouver Canucks.

I think the main attribute that sticks out through his first three NHL games is his strength. Veleno is a strong 21-year-old.

Sam Gagner scored to end an eight-round shootout and Thomas Greiss stopped 33 shots, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

Adam Erne scored in the seventh round of the shootout as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4.

The Detroit Red Wings, like they have multiple times this season, rebounded Saturday from a terrible performance two nights earlier. Adam Erne scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and then converted in the seventh round of the shootout as the Red Wings defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 at PNC Arena. Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha and Valtteri Filppula also scored in regulation for the Red Wings (14-23-6). After Larkin scored on his team’s first attempt, the Red Wings had five opportunities to win in the shootout before Erne’s goal. Erne scored on a breakaway with 6:20 remaining in the third period to put the Red Wings ahead 4-3.

Thomas Greiss made 27 stops to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay for their first road win against the Lightning in the regular season in more than 10 years.

Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 stops to move to 12-0 lifetime against Detroit and lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 2-1 victory.

Thomas Greiss made 27 stops to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-1 victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday for their first road win against the Lightning in the regular season in more than 10 years.

The Detroit Red Wings looked much different Sunday than the team they have resembled much of the season, and so did the Tampa Bay Lightning. Thomas Greiss made 27 saves and five different Red Wings scored goals in a 5-1 victory over the Lightning at Amalie Arena. The Red Wings (13-22-5) snapped a 17-game regular season losing streak in Tampa Bay dating back to their last victory in the building on Feb. 17, 2011. The Red Wings maintained their solid structure down the stretch, preventing Tampa Bay from trimming the deficit. The Red Wings picked up three of a possible eight points during a tough four-game trip against top clubs Florida and Tampa Bay.

Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 stops to move to 12-0 lifetime against Detroit and lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 2-1 victory.

Valtteri Filppula on Wednesday was the latest veteran the Detroit Red Wings waived to gain roster flexibility. Filppula likely will clear at noon Thursday, at which point the club can assign him to the taxi squad if it opts to do so. The Red Wings earlier this season waived defensemen Danny DeKeyser and Alex Biega and forward Frans Nielsen. Filppula, who turns 37 on March 20, has appeared in 20 games (two goals, three assists, minus-4). More: Red Wings need this level of compete more often from Anthony Mantha

It could be a busy time for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman, who has 10 impending unrestricted free agents on the roster. Here is an early projection of what the Red Wings might do with their UFAs. Bobby Ryan: Ryan cooled off after a hot start, and he turns 34 on March 17, but the Red Wings like him. Perhaps the Red Wings will re-sign him for a year as the seventh defenseman or someone who can come up from Grand Rapids when needed. Marc Staal: The Red Wings without a doubt will look to move Staal, maybe well before the deadline, if they are able.

Robby Fabbri has 6 points in 5 games since he was acquired by the Detroit Red Wings. Fabbris addition has given the Red Wings two legitimate scoring lines as he flashes superb playmaking ability at high speeds, and hes costing the team very little.

The Red Wings are returning home from a western road trip in which they grabbed 4 of a possible 6 points.

DETROIT (AP) Steve Yzerman is practicing patience in his first year as the Detroit Red Wings general manager. On the opening day of free agency, the Hockey Hall of Famer and former Red Wings great made some subtle moves to improve his roster without saddling the rebuilding franchise with big contracts. Detroit signed both center Valtteri Filppula and defenseman Patrik Nemeth to two-year , $6 million contracts and added goaltender Calvin Pickard with a two-year deal. The Red Wings have a core of young players, led by Dylan Larkin, to build around and a slew of prospects they hope are pushing for playing time in the NHL. Filppula, who helped Detroit win the 2008 Stanley Cup, played with Yzerman with the Red Wings and was signed by him in Tampa Bay.

He followed that with 16 points in 23 playoff games when the Red Wings tried to repeat in 2009.
