Todd Bertuzzi provided the latest demonstration of why the Red Wings love their veterans, scoring a pair of goals that very nearly secured a rally. Bertuzzi's output Saturday night at Edmonton enabled the Wings to reach five of a possible six points as they wrap up this four-game trip tonight at Phoenix, ending an exhausting two months of travel.

Detroit Red Wings return home after long road trip
After a long west coast road trip that spanned seven days and four games, the Detroit Red Wings will finally fly home tonight. Their next game, to be played on Wednesday, will give the Red Wings an opportunity to extend their franchise-record 17 game home winning streak.
However, the Wings will have to do it without their star goaltender Jimmy Howard. The long road trip cost...
Red Wings vs Oilers Recap 2.4.2012
The Red Wings did not play well enough to win tonight. Conklin was bad. The power play and penalty kill were a disaster and the result was a loss.Jump for the recap:
Once the Wings failed to score on that extended 5 on 3, the game was over. Yeah, they still had plenty of chances to come back, but that gave the Oilers a boost that they really didn't even need. The Wings didn...
Red Wings-Oilers wrap-up: a messy night and controversy on and off ice, here and in Sweden
The Detroit Red Wings spent Sunday morning flying to Phoenix probably feeling like Ales Hemsky did after he was very cleanly Kronwalled (and even the Edmonton Journal’s David Staples says the hit was clean)—probably a little dazed and confused as to how they’d managed to rally from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to take a 4-3 lead on the Edmonton Oilers…
And yet a...
Red Wings-Coyotes quick take: taking the hard road = less than special loss
The Detroit Red Wings tend to suffer a few injuries during February and subsequently go into an early-month slump (usually at the same time that the Nashville Predators, who the Wings play on Friday, make their customary division title push), but man, in their -3-1 loss to Phoenix…
Did the Wings’ special teams ever stink, and did the Wings ever engage in a game where...
Red Wings’ Niklas Kronwall with a clean hit on Ales Hemsky
Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall landed a clean butt check on Ales Hemsky of the Edmonton Oilers. Kronwall was bloodied by Corey Potter and Hemsky had to go to the “quiet room” but has nothing more than a little cut on his upper lip—and Kronwall never left his feet:
GDT - Game #54: Red Wings at Coyotes (8:00)
DET (35-16-2) have earned 5 of 6 points in Western Canada, and wrap up their 4 game road trip tonight against the franchise that Gary owns. DET are 9-1-1 in their last 11, and will try to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time since Dec. 21-22. For as good as the Wings have been, their special teams are a disaster. The Wings are a paltry 6-for-65 (9.2 percent) on the power...
Richard Cloutier: Oilers Eat Wings. Could they Finish at .500?
On Saturday, the Oilers beat the very good Detroit Red Wings. This left us Oil fans wondering where the heck this team has been for the last three month. Six wins...if the Oilers would have won two more games in each the months of November, December and January, they'd have six month wins, 12 more standings points, and would firmly be in a playoff position. This team isn'...
Kronwall crushes Hemsky

Midway through the 1st period in last nights Edmonton oilers / Detroit Redwings game Niklas Kronwall put Ales Hemsky into his sights and took Hemsky out with a devastating hit.

Dirty Wings
from Open Ice Hitter at the StarPhoenix, - Interesting how the sports news crews and broadcasters refer vaguely to Patrick Sharp’s wrist injury …. Avoiding the mention of Jiri Hudler’s name, or the fact the Detroit Red Wing worm smashed Sharp’s wrist with a vicious slash …. Where is this going ? Yup. TO Brendan Shanahan … ex Detroit Red...
