Sunday marked one month since Todd McLellan was named head coach of the Detroit Red Wings,a change that has resuscitated the Wings’ hopes of competing for a playoff spot. The Wings (23-21-5) next play Monday, when they take on the Los Angeles Kings, the team that last February sent McLellan packing, even as he was signed through the end of this season. That decision ultimately benefited the Wings, as McLellan has had a transformative impact. In the stretch since he arrived, they’ve gone 10-4-1, and rank in the top six in the NHL in goals scored per game (3.33),…
The Detroit Red Wings announced Monday that they have placed Patrick Kane on the injured reserve retroactive to January 21, 2025. Just a few days ago, Kane was listed as day-to-day basis due to an upper-body injury, reported by Max Bultman of The Athletic.

New Detroit Red Wings coach Todd McLellan described the first game as a “roadmap,” giving him a hint of the best path forward. It is clear, though, that the Wings still very much lack the direction needed towards fulfilling general manager Steve Yzerman’s preseason expectation that the 2024-25 Wings are good enough to compete for a wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They take on the Washington Capitals Sunday on a four-game losing streak that’s left the Wings (13-18-4) tied at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in points (30) with the Buffalo Sabres. Not exactly a spirit-uplifting…
The Detroit Red Wings brought in Todd McLellan. It’s a surprising name as McLellan is a veteran head coach with a successful track record in the best league in the world. Yet, he chose the Detroit Red Wings. Here’s maybe why he did so Weâve already discussed the recent change to Todd McLellan as the new head coach and Trent Yawney as the new assistant coach. I looked to the Winged Wheel Podcast for insight. While there are plenty of other voices that I respect, the Winged Wheel Podcast tends to make content easily digestible for me. They offer various…
DETROIT — When the Detroit Red Wings replaced coach Derek Lalonde with Todd McLellan on Dec. 26, they were eight points out of the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference. They looked lifeless on the ice. General manager Steve Yzerman pointed out they werenât far off, though. âYou get a three-game winning streak,â he said Dec. 27, âyouâre right back in the mix.â Well, now theyâre on a four-game winning streak and three points out of the second wild card. They will host one of the teams theyâre chasing, the Ottawa Senators, at Little…
Patrik Laine has expressed regret over comments he made about the Columbus Blue Jackets on Dec. 23, right before the holiday break, acknowledging that he learned a lesson after facing retaliation on the ice. Now a member of the Montreal Canadiens after the Habs traded for him last offseason, the winger had openly criticized his former team at the end of last year, saying he was “tired of losing” and implying that some players were “too comfortable” with failure. Those remarks did not go unnoticed in Columbus, with defenseman Zach Werenski firing back at his former teammate and the Blue…
David Reinbacher Joins Canadiens on Road Trip and Could Be Set to Make His Debut Soon Originally posted on Habs Fanatics  | By Elias Adaime  | Last updated Feb 2, 2025 12:52 PM ET We had an important development in the last few hours, involving the young defenseman of the Montreal Canadiens, David Reinbacher. Against all odds, the Habs announced that Reinbacher has traveled with the team for the trip to California. Does this mean he will return to play directly with the Montreal Canadiens, and not with the Laval Rocket? It seems like a possibility, but in any case, it’s definitely great news for the young…
