The Detroit Red Wings lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena, 4-2. The team looked decent, but there are things they need to clean up.
The Detroit Red Wings forward Marco Kasper will be entering his third season with the team, and it is going to be a very crucial season for the 22-year-old, who is coming off a disappointing season.
Two very different versions of Marco Kasper have been witnessed by the Detroit Red Wings. Two seasons, two distinctly different outcomes. Now, the task is to see which one is the real one they can expect to see in the future, because that really matters.
When the Detroit Red Wings eventually/probably/maybe trade Dylan Larkin, much of the attention will understandably focus on the return package, whether that’s NHL-ready players, prospects, and/or draft picks. Flying under the radar a bit is the downstream impact on the rest of the Red Wings.
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.
The 2025-26 NHL regular season is winding down. For many players, it’s been quite the success, but some have failed to live up to expectations. Which NHLers have had the most disappointing seasons, and do any have bounce-back potential for the 2026-27 campaign?
Marco Kasper played an important role in the Detroit Red Wings’ 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks on Friday at Little Caesars Arena. He ended a 37-game goal drought and helped set up the tying goal that led to a comeback victory.
Sorry for the blunt title, but at least you can’t call it clickbait. Marco Kasper has had a season that defies a sophomore slump. About a month ago, I made a piece about Marco Kasper talking about how players of his archetype usually don’t have a sophomore slump, at least not like his.
Happy New Year, everyone! It is Monday, January 5th, 2026. Five-game slate on tap tonight. Detroit Power Play 1 (JVR, Seider, Larkin, DeBrincat, Raymond) There are only five games tonight, and three have a 5.5 total, so goals should be at a premium tonight.
Just a year ago, this was the start of the Kasper hype train. Marco Kasper, the former first-round pick of the Red Wings, made his NHL debut last season.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The Detroit Red Wings’ five-game winning streak came to a halt with a disappointing 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, but the final score wasn’t the only story grabbing headlines.
Detroit Red Wings rookie Marco Kasper has certainly impressed in his first NHL season. The former eighth-overall pick made his NHL debut in 2023, but an injury limited him to one game.
The 2024-25 season has been an up and down affair for the Detroit Red Wings. Though they still find themselves within striking distance of a playoff spot, their general inconsistency as well as strength of schedule makes it hard to believe that their playoff pursuit will be successful.
Talking to hockey people both inside and outside the Detroit Red Wings organization, there was never any doubt that Marco Kasper was going to evolve into a very useful NHL player.
Often, when he speaks about players that are new to his roster, Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde will reference them as arriving as advertised. That’s certainly been the case where Marco Kasper is concerned.
The move suggests an injury or other absence is pending for one of Detroit’s 12 forwards on the active roster, who all suited up in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Marco Kasper rose in draft conversations throughout his entire draft year, but even his biggest supporters were surprised that he ultimately went eighth overall in the 2022 Draft to the Detroit Red Wings.
