This week goes back eight decades to a night when a grand piano was wheeled to center ice. A member of the Detroit Red Wings then played it, went on to score two goals and win the game and continued to set NHL records.

The Red Wings aren't shaping up as an obvious buyer or seller at this year's deadline. But can they use it to look ahead to next season?

Lucas Raymond is a big reason the Detroit Red Wings are doing so well, and Patrick Kane may soon rejoin the lineup.

The Detroit Red Wings wrapped up a three-game home stand Monday when they hosted the Los Angeles Kings, who jumped out to an early lead thanks partly to a mishap by the Wings – but that only momentarily quieted fans at Little Caesars Arena. The Wings rallied and kept going, finishing with a 5-2 victory.

Veteran forward Andrew Copp said the Detroit Red Wings have a togetherness they lacked before head coach Todd McLellan was hired in late December.

Said Lucas Raymond: “When you’re winning, it makes things a lot easier and makes you even more focused to keep it that way. You don’t want to let that go. I think it’s the way we’ve been playing, which is probably the nicest feeling. It hasn’t been a coincidence. We worked really hard for it and we continue to do so every day.”

The Detroit Red Wings begin a four-game Western swing when they face the host Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

The Red Wings completed a three-game homestand Monday with a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings at Little Caesars Arena.

The Detroit Red Wings' first and second quarter-century teams are jam-packed with Stanley Cup champions and multiple Hockey Hall of Famers.

Sam Gagner has played 1,043 NHL games, including 129 with the Detroit Red Wings, and wants to play some more, even if it means working his way up through the minors. The 35-year-old forward signed a professional tryout contract the AHL Belleville Senators this week and registered an assist Friday in his debut.
