The last two times out, as Red Wings coach Todd McLellan and his staff have put together their lineup, they have omitted Jonatan Berggren's name from the forward group.

DETROIT—At 10:23 local time Wednesday night, the Detroit Red Wings' six-game losing streak officially ended, as the horn sounded on a sorely needed 7–3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. It would've ended sooner if it weren't for a third period ground to a halt by a turn toward the extra-curricular with the game's outcome no longer in reach, resulting in 73 penalty minutes each way in the third alone.

The last time Petr Mrazek wore a Detroit Red Wings jersey to play in an NHL game was Feb. 18, 2018, when he made 31 saves on 34 shots in a 3–2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. A day later, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for two draft picks. The first time came five years before that: Feb. 7, 2013, when Mraek made 26 saves to beat the Blues 5–1 in his NHL debut.

While the trade deadline has come and gone at the NHL level, the same restriction is not in place in the AHL, where the deadline won't hit until the 14th of March. As such, the Red Wings organization swung a deal to acquire left-handed defenseman Nikolai Knyzhov from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for now more than "future considerations."

The Detroit Red Wings season has taken an all-too-familiar turn toward the unfortunate, but one Detroit prospect is doing his best to provide optimism for the future in Hockeytown.

On Friday night in Washington, the Detroit Red Wings lost their fifth straight game, all of them in regulation, falling 5–2 to the Capitals.

It’s Trade Deadline Day.

Per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, a forward long linked to the Detroit Red Wings via rumor is off the board, as the Buffalo Sabres send Dylan Cozens to Ottawa. The full deal will send Cozens and defenseman Dennis Gilbert and a 2026 second round pick to the Senators in exchange for Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker.

It's silly season.

If you wake up from a nap the week of the NHL Trade Deadline with three missed calls from your general manager, chances are what's coming won't be good news, but 22-year-old Carter Mazur (a 2021 Detroit Red Wings third round draft pick) proved the exception to this rule of thumb.
