The Red Wings are averaging 2.91 goals per game in 2024-25, 20th in the NHL.

The Detroit Red Wings have an easy scouting ... Rewatching it will show the same thing: Andrei Vasilevskiy, a world-class goaltender, made 39 saves, so it wasn't like all the Wings did was play defense. The problem? They barely played defense at all.

The Detroit Red Wings hit another bump ... It wasn't like the Wings spent the entire night defending — they had the puck plenty, but they were up against Andrei Vasilevskiy, who looked in championship form making 39 saves. But the Wings looked sloppy ...

Kucherov danced his way to the right faceoff dot, pulling a Detroit defender toward him before cutting back to the right center hashmark. Kucherov shelved his shot into the top right corner of the Detroit net for his 21 st goal of the season.

Talking to hockey people both inside and outside the Detroit Red Wings organization, there was never any doubt that Marco Kasper was going to evolve into a very useful NHL player.

The Red Wings won their second consecutive game on this three-game homestand Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Tampa.

A redirection for rookie forward Marco Kasper was the only goal that beat either team’s goalie in Saturday’s 2-0 win for the Detroit Red Wings over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kasper scored on a netfront deflection, the puck hitting the right post and finding the back of the Tampa Bay net for a 1-0 lead midway through the second period.

That concern is beginning to dissipate. Over the last nine games, Kasper has five goals (along with three assists), and playing on a line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, the scoring chances are increasing, you can see the offensive attributes Kasper has, and there's simply more confidence in his game.
