With the news of Andreas Athanasiou signing his one-year deal breaking a few hours prior to puck drop, Wings Nation was steeping in emotion. AA, one of the Wings young speedsters, would soon be making his return. But first, some roster moves need to be made to be cap compliant. In the midst of all…
Isn’t it ironic? Andreas Athanasiou is as fast as a bolt of lightning on the ice, but as slow as molasses in contract negotiations. Well, the wait is finally over as the Wings have signed Athanasiou to a 1-year deal worth $1.387M.
What’s up Wings Nation! I’m in a massive time crunch, so I will not be able to dive too deep into tonight’s game, but here’s a quick look at how these two squads stack up as well as a peek at their lineups and starting goalies: Record 4-3-0 (4th in ATL) 3-3-1 (6th in MET)…

We’re only six games into the regular season, and the Detroit Red Wings’ season is starting out awfully similar to last season when they started 4-2-0 after six games before losing nine of their next 13 games to begin a freefall to the bottom of the standings. This season, the Red Wings are 4-2-0 after…
The Detroit Red Wings headed into their toughest week of the season yet as the Tampa Bay Lightning strolled into town Monday night. Though it would be their sixth game of the season, it’s only the second in Little Caesars Arena. After a 4-2 victory to open the arena, the Wings looked to get a…
Your Detroit Red Wings have started this season a very surprising 4-1-0 and Jeff Blashill is already up to his old tricks. Not just his serious thinking faces but how often he loves to mix up the lines and mostly to no avail. Blashill messed up when he decided to place Justin Abdelkader in Martin…
