Finding hope for the NHL’s 10 most hopeless teams in 2023-24

New York Times  

We’re now just a week away from the start of the NHL season, meaning hockey fans are being flooded with season previews. Why they’re probably right: The Red Wings should be better than last year, with Alex DeBrincat on the top line and other reinforcements added. Why they’re probably right: When you’re very bad, like the Blue Jackets were last year, you’re generally not looking to follow it up with one of the most embarrassing offseason debacles in recent NHL history. Why they’re probably right: The Ducks were absolutely terrible last year, finishing dead last in a season where lots of teams were openly tanking by the end. Why they’re probably right: The Hawks were awful last year, and that was with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane around for most of the season.

Red Wings’ season ends in heartbreak. What’s next may be even harder

New York Times  

The Detroit Red Wings did everything they could Tuesday. By the time Patrick Kane skated back to the Red Wings’ bench after scoring the shootout winner, Detroit’s fate was already sealed, in perhaps the most painful way possible. Washington’s goal on the empty net, however, sent the Capitals into the playoffs, and the Red Wings to a crushing end to …

Five Red Wings thoughts after Detroit’s biggest win of the young season in Ottawa

New York Times  

It’s probably too early into the 82-game NHL season for any one game to be significant.

Five Red Wings thoughts after 10 games: Can flashes of promise become more consistent?

New York Times  

DETROIT — Five thoughts after the Red Wings’ 3-1 win Thursday over Washington, which brought the team’s record to 5-3-2 after 10 games: 1. Yes, technically, the Red Wings’ 12 points through 10 games would put them exactly in line with the typical “playoff pace” teams strive for, picking up six points every five games.
