Dylan Larkin is the current captain of the Detroit Red Wings until he is traded. Being the captain of the team comes with a lot of responsibility. Not everyone who wears the letter "C" on their chest is captain material.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have underwent a significant amount of changes over the past couple of months, and while the revamped front office, new coaching
Welcome back to another August edition of Around the NHL, as the offseason is starting to wind down, and training camps are about to grab all of our attention.
Can you name the players chosen as team captain for each NHL franchise in 2026-27?
The Detroit Red Wings were hoping to find stability and optimism for the future this off-season, but with the departure of Steve Yzerman in the GM/President of Hockey Operations role and few moves beyond that, the team hasn't done enough to improve over the summer.
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 Detroit Red Wings are still searching for a new general manager as training camp approaches. Detroit moved on from Steve Yzerman shortly after 2026 NHL free agency began.
The Detroit Red Wings future is currently in flux as the team looks for a new General Manager to clean up the mess that Steve Yzerman made, and with Dylan Larkin wanting out and Alex DeBrincat heading into the final year of his contract, things could change even more under new leadership.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Måns Gudmundsson said he looks up to Detroit Red Wings star Moritz Seider, upon being selected at the 2026 NHL Draft. Gudmundsson was taken with the No.
It wasn’t too long ago when the Norris Trophy was synonymous with the Detroit Red Wings – and, more specifically, with Nicklas Lidstrom. From 1998 to 2012,
It’s hard for me to choose a piece to write about. Dylan Larkin’s hat trick, Alex DeBrincat’s 40th goal, and Patrick Kane continuing his late-season dominance are all big moments.
With their 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, the Red Wings were officially eliminated from playoff contention for the 2025-26 season, meaning their playoff drought is now at 10 consecutive seasons, which now sits as the longest active playoff drought in the NHL.
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.
After taking a 3-2 lead late in the third period, the Red Wings allowed a late game-tying goal and then lost in a shootout.
Moritz Seider and the Detroit Red Wings took on the Boston Bruins on Saturday in a game they had to have. They were tied on points with the Bruins for the top Wild Card spot in the East.
The United States men's hockey team opened group play on Thursday with a dominant 5-1 win over Latvia.
Watch out for the Detroit Red Wings.
The Detroit Red Wings have not been in the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2015-16 season. For a team that once went 25 consecutive seasons in the playoffs, that nine-year drought is a significant fall from grace.
With every passing game, Moritz Seider seems to get himself more and more recognition across the NHL. This weekend, after dismantling Washington and picking up three points, Moritz Seider has his name in some award talks.
The Detroit Red Wings have been on an absolute heater and have won seven out of their last nine games, and there is a major reason for that. Star defenseman Moritz Seider has been doing everything for the Red Wings as of late and it has definitely shown on the scoreboard.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where the story of the Red Wings’ rebuild will begin. It could begin with the day the Red Wings were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in a quarter-century.
TORONTO – Moritz Seider’s first few seasons in the NHL have been a trial by fire. The Detroit Red Wings defenseman took the hockey world by storm in his rookie season in 2021-22, scoring seven goals and dishing out 43 assists for 50 points in 82 games.
When Moritz Seider was drafted sixth overall in 2019, most of the hockey world blinked. Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman stepped up to the podium, called the young German’s name, and the room shifted.
To the surprise of no one, Moritz Seider is once again the Red Wings’ top defenseman, and his ice time and usage reflects it. The German defender, who signed a massive seven-year contract last month, is averaging just north of 24 minutes a game – a jump up from his average ice time of 22:22 last season.
Menacing would be a good adjective to describe the approach to hockey taken by Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider. When he’s on the ice, if you’re on the other team and you stray into his vicinity, expect that he will be exacting a price for your visit to his neighborhood.
He’s been Detroit’s clear-cut No. 1 defender since he stepped into the NHL in 2021-22.
The German Ice Hockey Federation is confirming that Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider won’t be representing his country at the upcoming IIHF World Championship.
Two of Moritz Seider professional goals fit well with the hopes and dreams of the Detroit Red Wings fan base. The big German defenseman wants to get a deal that will keep him in Detroit for a very long time and a chance to play alongside Red Wings young Swedish D Man Simon Edvinsson.
