Veteran forward Andrew Copp said the Detroit Red Wings have a togetherness they lacked before head coach Todd McLellan was hired in late December.

The Red Wings aren't shaping up as an obvious buyer or seller at this year's deadline. But can they use it to look ahead to next season?

The Detroit Red Wings begin a four-game Western swing when they face the host Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

The Detroit Red Wings’ injury news was mostly positive as they left town Wednesday to start their four-game road trip Thursday in Edmonton. Patrick Kane skated.

On the surface, the Colorado Avalanche made a pretty baffling decision last week (Jan. 24). Trading an in-his-prime franchise legend like Mikko Rantanen doesn’t usually go over well in the eyes of public opinion.

After a trio of home wins, the Red Wings will get back on the road as January ends, hoping for better results than the last road trip.

According to Ansar Khan of MLive.com, Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) is not expected to return to action on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. Kane has missed the past three contests and is now expected to miss his fourth straight contest.

The Detroit Red Wings have a player on their hands who does nothing but work and is far from a "dull boy." All successful hockey organizations make the most of their drafting and development. Part of that is selecting the right players for the team.

Tarasenko missed Monday's 5-2 win over Los Angeles due to the illness. He has six goals and 20 points in 48 outings in 2024-25. Tarasenko will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity in his return, though he should still receive power-play ice time.

Kane (upper body) isn't expected to be available for Thursday's road game against Edmonton, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Lucas Raymond is a big reason the Detroit Red Wings are doing so well, and Patrick Kane may soon rejoin the lineup.

Detroit — The feel-good story surrounding the Red Wings currently looks like it's going to stay around a bit longer. Dominik Shine, who made his NHL debut at age 31 in Monday's victory over Los Angeles, appears to be staying at least for the start of the Wings' upcoming four-game road trip Thursday in Edmonton.
