As the NHL preseason gets underway, the Detroit Red Wings are undergoing a lot of change. Not only are they adjusting to personnel changes on the ice, the team is also undergoing a re-brand that includes parting ways with fonts from the ’90s and ushering in a brand new Hockeytown logo. Part of this re-brand…
The Detroit Red Wings have been very fortunate. In the last 32 years, the team has only cycled through three captains and all three of them happened to be legendary players. When Steve Yzerman retired, Nicklas Lidstrom was there to take over the reins. When Lidstrom called it quits, Henrik Zetterberg was there to carry…
Training camp brings a fresh slate for regular NHL-ers and the prospects who one day hope to be regulars. Teams cast a wide net to start camp, giving every hopeful a fair chance and they narrow it down from there.
Blood clots are no laughing matter. They are a very serious injury that can be hard to come back from. So when Dominic Turgeon was diagnosed with a blood clot in his right arm last year right before the playoffs, nobody really knew when he’d be back.
With the fearless leader of the Detroit Red Wings likely having played his final game in the winged wheel, it got a little emotional in our staff Slack channel this weekend. Everyone was throwing around their favorite Henrik Zetterberg moments, so I decided to compile a few of them to share with you.
Amidst rumours, speculation, and careful wording from Red Wings staff, Henrik Zetterberg has confirmed in a Swedish language interview that he will not be ready for the start of the 2018-19 season.
The Henrik Zetterberg saga continues this week as Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill admitted that it didn’t seem likely that Zetterberg would be ready to hit the ice for training camp. And if he’s not ready for training camp, then he won’t start the season. And if he doesn’t start the season… well, then…
With the big club in a bit of a lull when it comes to high end talent, all eyes are on the young guns to see how they perform this year. Some have some pretty hefty expectations sitting on their shoulders and others have a lot to prove. In our WingsNation staff Slack group, we…

It’s a hot topic in Wings Nation right now. What is going to happen if Henrik Zetterberg doesn’t play this year? Will his cap hit be moved to the LTIR? How will the kids find their way in the NHL? Whose back will support such a mediocre team? But more importantly, who will be the…
The future of Detroit’s goaltending may still be a question mark, but for now the present has been set. After parting ways with both goalies who backed up Jimmy Howard in 2017-18, the team had to dip into the free agency market to fill that gap. They did and they locked up veteran goaltender Jonathan…
Have you been wondering where John Scott‘s disappeared to? Me neither, really, but he just popped up on my Twitter feed promoting the latest episode of his podcast. It’s a 20-minute discussion with current Red Wing Luke Witkowski. The offseason is long and currently dry as the desert, so I gave it a listen to.
