Michael Rasmussen Makes Early Exit Tuesday

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) left Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Boston Bruins midway through the third period. Rasmussen only recently returned from an undisclosed injury, scoring in back-to-back games. Now, he could be set for another spell on the sidelines. In 24 appearances this season, Rasmussen has contributed four goals and four assists. His exit from the lineup would be a second blow in a short space of time for Detroit's bottom-six group, as Mason Appleton (lower body) was ruled out for at least a week before Tuesday's game.

Mason Appleton Misses Tuesday's Contest

Detroit Red Wings forward Mason Appleton (undisclosed) will miss his first game of the season on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 29-year-old is considered day-to-day, so there appears to be a strong chance he can rejoin the action later this week. Appleton has occasionally seen time in the top six this season and has been on track for his second 30-point campaign. In 26 outings, he has tallied three goals and six assists. Elmer Soderblom skated on the third line instead of Appleton during Monday's practice. The Swedish winger has been limited to one goal in 13 appearances this season and isn't someone fantasy managers should pay attention to.

Lucas Raymond Leads Red Wings to Victory at MSG

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond was the main man in Sunday's Original Six matchup against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, logging a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win. Raymond combined with Patrick Kane to set up Alex DeBrincat for a power-play goal in the season period and went on to pot the game-winning goal with less than four minutes remaining in regulation. Raymond is part of Detroit's highly productive first line, having notched 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) in 17 appearances. The last Red Wings player aged 23 or younger to require fewer games to hit 20 points in a season was Hall of Famer Sergei Fedorov in 1993-94. Seven of Raymond's points have come during his current four-game scoring streak.

John Gibson Fine for Saturday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (upper body) practiced on Friday and will be available for Saturday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. Gibson's availability for the game was uncertain after he left Thursday's victory over the Anaheim Ducks early. While Gibson has been deemed healthy to play, Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan didn't say on Friday whether Gibson or Cam Talbot would start Saturday's game. Gibson has amassed a 4-5-0 record across 10 starts, allowing 3.14 goals with a .882 save percentage.

John Gibson Exits With Upper-Body Injury Thursday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (upper body) exited Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks after two periods. This was a special night for Gibson, who made over 500 appearances for the Ducks before moving to Motown. Unfortunately, he had to leave the action early after sustaining an upper-body injury. In the game, Gibson stopped 15 of 17 shots before exiting. Cam Talbot took over the net, saving 10 of 11 shots and earning the victory. Gibson's record for the season is 4-5-0, with a goals-against average of 3.14 and a save percentage of .882. If Gibson must miss time, the Ducks will rely heavily on Talbot, who has a 6-2-0 record.

Patrick Kane Returns to Action Friday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) has been cleared to return to action on Friday against the New York Rangers. The veteran star has been out for nine games due to an upper-body injury. Kane is closing in on 500 regular-season goals and has started the campaign well. Before getting sidelined, Kane produced five points (two goals, three assists) in as many games. Detroit will use Kane on the second line and the first power-play unit. Kane has been kind to his former team since leaving New York in 2023, finishing three of four games against the Rangers without a single point.

Lucas Raymond Extends Point Streak With a Goal

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond pushed his point streak to four games with a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout victory over the San Jose Sharks. Raymond opened the scoring in the contest, finding the back of the net for the fourth time this season at the 18:05 mark in the second period. On Sunday, Raymond also didn't shy away from the dirty work, finishing with three blocks. The Swedish forward has enjoyed a fruitful start to the campaign, accumulating 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in 11 games. Raymond's current scoring run marks already his second four-game point streak this season. He will try to extend it on Tuesday night in a tough road game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Patrick Kane to Remain Out on Tuesday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) won't travel with the team for Tuesday's road game against the St. Louis Blues, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan hopes to have the veteran star available later during a five-game road trip. Tuesday's game will mark Kane's fifth consecutive absence. Kane has appeared in only five games this season, scoring two goals and recording five points. Mason Appleton has received opportunities on the top line during Kane's absence, but he's been held scoreless for four consecutive contests.

Patrick Kane to Miss Third Consecutive Game Thursday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) sat out Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres and will also be out for Thursday's clash against the New York Islanders. The former MVP is battling an upper-body injury, and Thursday's game will mark his third consecutive absence. Kane has played well early in the season, notching five points (two goals, three assists) in five games. He has totaled three points (one goal, two assists) on the power play. Detroit plans to re-evaluate Kane before Saturday's tilt against the St. Louis Blues. Despite losing Kane, the Red Wings offense has been hot, with captain Dylan Larkin leading the charge.

Emmitt Finnie Notches Three Points Against Oilers

Detroit Red Wings forward Emmitt Finnie scored his first two career goals and added one assist as the team rocked the Edmonton Oilers with a 4-2 victory on Sunday. The 20-year-old potted Detroit's second goal and wrapped up the scoring with an empty-netter. Finnie was a seventh-round pick in 2023, but he's quickly emerged as a legitimate NHL-level contributor. Through his first six career games, Finnie has tallied five points (two goals, three assists). It's helped that Finnie has kicked off the season as Dylan Larkin's running mate on Detroit's first line. The Red Wings captain has racked up 11 points during a season-opening six-game scoring streak.

Dylan Larkin Totals Four Points in Sunday's Win

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin was unstoppable against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, recording four points in a 4-2 victory. He scored twice and delivered two assists to Emmitt Finnie. Larkin became the first player since Pavel Datsyuk in 2016 to be involved in six consecutive Detroit goals. The weekend began with a two-point performance against the Tampa Bay Lightning for the Red Wings captain, who is averaging nearly two points per game early in the season. With six games played, Larkin has tallied five goals and six assists. He enters the new week of action with a three-game multi-point streak.

Patrick Kane Ruled Out for Sunday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) will come out of the lineup on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. The former MVP sustained an upper-body injury in Friday's clash against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kane, who will turn 37 in a month's time, has turned back the clock a bit this season. He's averaging a point per game through five appearances, boasting two goals and three assists. The Red Wings attack has already been without Lucas Raymond (upper body), although there's a possibility he will return and take Kane's place in the lineup on Sunday. If Raymond is not ready to play, Jonatan Berggren will step in for his second game of the season.

Dylan Larkin Leads Red Wings to Victory Friday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin had a goal and an assist in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Axel Sandin Pellikka scored his first career goal off a Larkin feed, and the Red Wings captain potted the game-winner 3:36 into the extra frame. Larkin has made a huge impact early in the season. He's yet to finish pointless in five games and boasts three goals with four assists. Even the absence of Lucas Raymond (upper body) from his line hasn't affected Larkin, who scored his 10th career overtime goal on Friday. Only Sergei Fedorov (12) has totaled more overtime goals for Detroit.

Lucas Raymond to Remain Out Friday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond (upper body) has been ruled out for Friday's clash against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to an upper-body injury. Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan said Raymond was day-to-day. If he can make progress over the weekend, Raymond may be available for Sunday's matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. Prior to his injury, Raymond was enjoying good start-of-the-season form, recording two goals and three points in three games. With Raymond out, Mason Appleton excelled in a first-line role in Wednesday's meeting with the Florida Panthers, scoring twice in a 4-1 victory.

Cam Talbot Collects Third Straight Win

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot recorded his third consecutive victory with a 20-save effort in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers. Talbot kept the Red Wings ahead in the game before the team secured two points with a pair of empty-net goals. Detroit brought in John Gibson over the summer, but he had a nightmare in the season opener, and Talbot has provided the team with much safer hands. He boasts a perfect 3-0-0 record with a 1.78 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage. Gibson has already been confirmed as the starter for Friday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. If he struggles again, we may see Talbot run away with the starter's job in Motown.

Lucas Raymond Misses Wednesday's Game

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond (upper body) won't be in the lineup against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. Raymond suffered an upper-body injury in Monday's contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs and will be shelved for at least one game. The Swedish forward is considered day-to-day and skated on Wednesday morning, so he is unlikely to be out for long. On Wednesday, Mason Appleton will take Raymond's spot on the first line, while James van Riemsdyk is expected to join the first power-play unit. Both players will have increased fantasy value against Florida and enter the matchup with good momentum. Van Riemsdyk scored a power-play goal on Monday, and Appleton netted the game-winning tally in a 3-2 victory.

Lucas Raymond Sustains Upper-Body Injury

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond (upper body) was hurt in Monday's 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. He picked up a power-play assist late in the first period but had to exit the game in the second due to an upper-body injury. Raymond has enjoyed a fine start to the 2025-26 campaign, recording two goals and one assist in three games. The Red Wings must reconfigure their first line and top power-play unit if Raymond can't play in Wednesday's matchup against the Florida Panthers. Elmer Soderblom and Jonatan Berggren are the candidates to fill the gap in the lineup.

James van Riemsdyk Available for Red Wings Debut Monday

Detroit Red Wings left wing James van Riemsdyk has been activated from the non-roster list and is available to make his debut for the team on Monday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. The veteran forward missed a significant portion of training camp for personal reasons and hasn't played in the first two games of the season. He's expected to join the Red Wings lineup as a fourth-liner. As a 16-year veteran, van Riemsdyk likely doesn't have much gas left in the tank. However, van Riemsdyk has scored a combined 74 points (27 goals, 47 assists) over the past two seasons, showing he can still make an impact.

James van Riemsdyk Won't Play on Thursday

Detroit Red Wings left wing James van Riemsdyk will miss Thursday's season opener against the Montreal Canadiens, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. The veteran missed most of training camp due to a personal matter and was placed on the non-roster list on Monday. According to Khan, van Riemsdyk might be ready for Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Once he's available, van Riemsdyk will likely take on a bottom-six role in Detroit and could be a healthy scratch at times, as several younger players are aiming to step up with the Red Wings.

James van Riemsdyk to Rejoin Team Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings left wing James van Riemsdyk (personal) is expected to rejoin the team on Wednesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. The veteran forward has missed the first couple of weeks of training camp to attend to a personal matter. Detroit has two preseason games left on the schedule, and it remains to be seen whether van Riemsdyk can get some action in before the regular season begins. Van Riemsdyk is projected to open the campaign on Detroit's third line. He's been hovering around the 30-40 point range in recent years and could reach that again in 2025-26 if he sees regular action.
