The NHL’s Department of Player Safety is making an example out of one of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Kane</a>’s teammates on the Detroit Red Wings. Following the team’s 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils, defenseman Ben Chiarot has been hit with a hefty fine for his actions against blueliner Simon Nemec.



Late in the game, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit</a> trailing New Jersey 4-3, Chiarot let his emotions get the better of him. During an after-the-whistle scrum, he drove the butt-end of his stick into Nemec’s midsection.



The aggression went unnoticed by the officials, leading to a candid outburst from head coach Sheldon Keefe and the rest of the Devils. However, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a>’s Department of Player Safety has now addressed the incident with a severe punishment for the 34-year-old blueliner.



“Detroit’s Ben Chiarot has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for butt-ending New Jersey’s Simon Nemec,” the league announced on social media, via @NHLPlayerSafety on X.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">.<a href="https://twitter.com/NHLPlayerSafety?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NHLPlayerSafety</a> has fined <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LGRW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LGRW</a> Ben Chiarot for butt-ending <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/njdevils?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#njdevils</a> Simon Nemec on Monday night. Chiarot has been accused previously for using the butt-end of his stick: <a href="https://t.co/tPtpObyxzm">https://t.co/tPtpObyxzm</a><a href="https://t.co/6wbWkrdKoI">pic.twitter.com/6wbWkrdKoI</a>— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) <a href="https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1993377901241417895?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>Old incident resurfaces after Chiarot’s butt-end hit</h2>



It didn’t take long before fans across the NHL expressed their discomfort with Chiarot’s actions. Moreover, many pointed at one similar incident involving Chiarot during the 2017-18 season. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-red-wings-coach-todd-mclellan-makes-candid-admission-after-loss-to-nj-devils"></div>


Almost a decade later, the former fourth-round selection became a repeat offender. They say old habits die hard, and that certainly seems to be the case for Chiarot and his post-whistle antics with the butt-end of his stick.



On November 24, 2017, Chiarot delivered a butt-end to the chin of Corey Perry during a matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and Anaheim Ducks. On that occasion, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety issued him a maximum fine of $3,763. However, the league ruled the play did not warrant supplemental discipline or a suspension, citing Chiarot’s clean record. Now, much has changed, and further discipline could still be in the works for the 6’3″ blueliner.

The Detroit Red Wings are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel regarding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a>‘s injury. After missing the first nine games of the season, the veteran forward could soon be back on the ice with his teammates. The team, currently on the West Coast preparing to face the Vegas Golden Knights, received an encouraging update about Kane’s return.



Fans have been eager for news on the 1,300-game NHL veteran, who last played on October 17th. The absence of a star player of Kane’s caliber has been felt on the ice, making every update closely watched by the team and its supporters.



Head Coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/todd-mclellan">Todd McLellan</a> provided clarity on Kane’s progress during a Tuesday update, according to The Hockey News. “That is a sign that there’s a really good chance he could skate with us on Thursday,” McLellan said, signaling optimism about Kane joining the team’s practice sessions.



<h2>When could Patrick Kane return?</h2>



It appears that Kane is on track to practice with the team on November 6th, giving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Red Wings</a> fans hope for his eventual return to game action. “Again, we’re not there yet,” McLellan added. “But we’re getting feedback from some really important people, including Patrick, and we’re hoping that he can practice with us and we’ll see where it goes from there.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251105_BUS_521245_patrick-kane-red-wings-1024x576_500200db.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-521246" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Kane #88 of the Detroit Red Wings celebrates his goal. Gregory Shamus/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



The team has been monitoring his recovery closely, providing updates as it receives more information. After weeks on the sidelines, it seems Kane is finally overcoming the latest setback.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-teams-that-came-close-to-an-undefeated-season"></div>


<h2>Kane’s impact</h2>



Patrick Kane has amassed 1,307 games and 1,348 points (494 goals, 854 assists) throughout his NHL career, split between the Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, and Detroit Red Wings. Last season, Kane contributed 59 points (21 goals, 38 assists) on a Red Wings roster that narrowly missed the playoffs.

His return could provide a major boost for Detroit, who will be looking for his veteran leadership and scoring ability to help push the team further this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season.

NHL News: Red Wings’ Todd McLellan shares key update on star Patrick Kane’s return

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Kane</a> has yet to make his return for the Detroit Red Wings in the 2025-26 NHL season. The American star last played for Todd McLellan’s side during the 2-1 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 17. Since, he’s been sidelined with an upper-body injury.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/todd-mclellan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McLellan</a> and the Red Wings have dubbed Kane’s status as day-to-day, which sparks hope in Detroit. However, days have passed and not much progress has been made aside from the 36-year-old veteran being on the ice during some practices.



As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Red Wings</a> close out their five-game road trip with a crucial showdown against the Vegas Golden Knights, an insider within the team announced Kane won’t be joining the team in Sin City.



“No, [Kane] will not join the Red Wings on this road trip,” Detroit’s beat writer for The Athletic, Max Bultman, reported on his X account (formerly Twitter).



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251103_BUS_520386_patrick-kane-4-1024x576_90e2a612.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Patrick Kane" class="wp-image-513726" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Kane #88 of the Detroit Red Wings looks on in an NHL game.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Closing it out</h2>



With only one game left on the five-game excursion through the West Coast, the Red Wings vie for a win to close the road trip with a 4-1-0 mark. However, there are far easier tasks in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a> than taking on the Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/patrick-kane-net-worth"></div>


Coming off a 4-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, the Knights will be eager to right their wrongs when the Kane-less Red Wings roll into Las Vegas. In the City of Lost Wages, Detroit hopes to strike gold with a statement victory.



In a true East-versus-West showdown, two starkly contrasting cities collide: the Motor City against the Entertainment Capital of the World, as the red-hot Red Wings face the golden-aged Golden Knights.

NHL News: Patrick Kane set to miss tone-setting matchup as Todd McLellan, Red Wings receive latest injury update

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> find themselves without one of their most trusted veterans as their West Coast road trip continues. According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a> will miss both upcoming games in Los Angeles and Anaheim due to an upper-body injury. The update, shared Tuesday evening, confirmed the forward has yet to be cleared for return.



Kane hasn’t played since October 17, when he exited a matchup against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-lightning">Tampa Bay Lightning</a> due to discomfort. What first seemed like a minor issue has now kept him out longer than expected. Before the setback, the 36-year-old winger had five points (two goals, three assists) in five games, offering steady production on Detroit’s top lines.



Despite Kane’s absence, the Red Wings have remained strong, holding a 7–3–0 record and sitting second in the Atlantic Division. Yet, his leadership and creativity remain difficult to replace — particularly as the team prepares to face two challenging opponents on consecutive nights.



<h2>How will Detroit adjust without Kane?</h2>



Head coach Todd McLelland is expected to rotate wingers within the top six, maintaining the club’s offensive balance until Kane’s return. The team will likely lean on Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond to carry the load on the wings as Detroit faces the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anaheim-ducks">Anaheim Ducks</a> on Friday.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251030_BUS_517985_patrik-kane-red-1024x576_12e6c22d.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-518028" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Kane #88 of the Red Wings celebrates his second period goal with teammates. Gregory Shamus/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Long-term picture for the Red Wings</h2>



Kane, who signed a one-year, $3 million contract this offseason, has become a key veteran presence in the locker room. The organization remains optimistic he’ll rejoin the lineup soon, but the timeline remains uncertain as the medical staff continues to monitor his recovery.

Red Wings' Kane reportedly out longer than expected after latest injury update

Though facing much different obligations, the Florida Panthers and Detroit Red Wings find themselves in similar spots in the NHL season. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Kane</a> injured and Brad Marchand still standing amidst an injury crisis, both franchises are witnessing setbacks affect their campaigns. On that note, a trade could be just what the doctor ordered for them, but reports suggest both clubs have kicked the tires on a recent offer.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-blue-jackets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> know the clock is ticking for them in the NHL. Though the franchise in Ohio has managed to settle the drama with forward Yegor Chinakhov, he still wants out of the Discovery City. The Blue Jackets are knocking on doors, but it seems no one is answering to their calls. Perhaps, they are looking desperate, and no team wants to hand them a lifesaver. 



The Red Wings and Panthers may fit right into that category. According to reports, neither franchise plans to surround Kane or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marchand</a>—respectively—with the 24-year-old Russian, at least not at the current price set by Columbus.



If the price drops, or if Detroit and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Florida</a> find themselves under more pressure, their answer might change. For now, they’re staying put. At the end of the day, the Blue Jackets are sitting on borrowed time, so there’s no reason for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wings</a> or Cats to take the weight off Columbus’s shoulders.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251030_BUS_517788_brad-marchand-1-2-1024x576_1c417a0f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brad Marchand skates by the bench after a goal" class="wp-image-508007" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brad Marchand at Amerant Bank Arena on October 11, 2025 in Sunrise, Florida. </figcaption></figure>



“Several teams have recently kicked the tires on Yegor Chinakhov, 24, who still wants out of Columbus, including the Buffalo Sabres, Florida Panthers and Detroit Red Wings,” insider Pierre LeBrun reported on The Athletic.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-rumors-brad-marchands-panthers-exploring-options-to-address-injury-crisis-at-key-position"></div>


<h2>New phone, who this?</h2>



Chinakhov raised alarms in Columbus during the summer as his agent Shumi Babaev went public with his client’s trade request. Since, Chinakhov has switched agents, as he is now represented by Rick Komarow.



Still, it might be old wine in new bottles. With Komarow in charge, Chinakhov’s intentions remain the same. He still wants out of Columbus, and The Athletic reports the Blue Jackets have given his new agent permission to talk business with the rest of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a>. So far, however, it’s been to no avail.



<h2>Give it time</h2>



It’s still very early in the NHL season. Many organizations are keeping their cards close to the chest, but give it time and true intentions will come to light. For now, Columbus must play the waiting game. Still, much can change as the season progresses. Teams like the Panthers and Red Wings could find themselves under pressure later on and might have second thoughts about shutting the door on Chinakhov. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251030_BUS_517788_yegor-chinakhov-1-1-1024x576_da015173.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Yegor Chinakhov smiling on the tunnel" class="wp-image-447353" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Yegor Chinakhov on November 19, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. </figcaption></figure>



Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets forward may continue his upward trend—he scored his first two goals of the season in back-to-back games on Oct. 25 and 28. Additionally, Chinakhov recorded his first multi-point performance in over a year, with fans having to go back to Oct. 13, 2024, for his last two-point night in the NHL. Who knows? Maybe similar performances could change Chinakhov’s mind about playing for Dean Evason and calling The Arch City home.

The Detroit Red Wings will be without star forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a> for their matchup against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/st-louis-blues">St. Louis Blues</a> on Tuesday, October 28. Kane has been sidelined since October 17 after colliding awkwardly with the boards in a previous game, leaving a gap in the Red Wings’ lineup.



Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/todd-mclellan">Todd McLellan</a> confirmed that Kane will not travel with the team for the start of their five-game road trip. The team currently holds the top spot in the Atlantic Division with a 6-3-0 record, making it vital to maintain consistency while key players recover.



Kane’s absence has forced the Red Wings to adjust their lines, with Lucas Raymond moving to the second line and Mason Appleton remaining on the first line. Despite these changes, Detroit managed a 2-1 overtime victory in its last game, though the offense has struggled without its veteran forward.



“Kane won’t travel with the Detroit Red Wings for the start of their upcoming five-game road trip, but could join the team partway through,” McLellan told broadcast reporter Daniella Bruce.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251028_BUS_516980_patrick-kane-red-wings-3-1024x576_0ecc63bd.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-517033" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>&nbsp;Patrick Kane #88 of the Red Wings plays against the Panthers. Gregory Shamus/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Red Wings adjust while Kane recovers</h2>



Since joining Detroit in 2023, Kane has been a consistent contributor. In his first season, he tallied 47 points (20 goals, 27 assists) in 50 games. This season, he recorded five points (2 goals, 3 assists) in five games before his injury, maintaining a point-per-game pace.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Red Wings</a>’ offense has been noticeably impacted by Kane’s absence. His line typically outshoots opponents 51-37, but without him, the team has been outscored in recent games, signaling the challenge of sustaining production. 


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6901076390f494b407d21418" data-title="How will Patrick Kane’s absence impact the Red Wings?" data-options="3"></div>

Red Wings provide injury update on star forward Patrick Kane before upcoming game vs Blues

The Detroit Red Wings received concerning news this week as veteran forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a> is set to miss at least the next two games due to an upper-body injury. The setback comes just as Detroit had built strong early-season momentum, leading the Eastern Conference with a 5-1-0 record.



Kane, who has been a key piece in the Red Wings’ offensive setup this season, was injured during last Friday’s 2-1 overtime win against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-lightning">Tampa Bay Lightning</a>, after crashing hard into the boards. The 36-year-old winger hasn’t played since and did not travel with the team for their current two-game road trip.



Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/todd-mclellan">Todd McLellan</a> confirmed the veteran will remain out for the matchups against the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders, noting that the team will reassess his condition before Saturday’s home game against the St. Louis Blues.



<h2>Kane’s status</h2>



“Patrick won’t make this trip,” McLellan told reporters on Tuesday, according to Red Wings official account on X. “He did skate today, which was a good sign. We’ll evaluate him when we get back for the Saturday game.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251022_BUS_513722_patrick-kane-red-wings-2-1024x576_7047c614.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-513725" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Red Wings celebrate Raymond’s goal against the Maple Leafs during. Nic Antaya/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Though Kane managed to take the ice during Tuesday’s session, he did not fully participate in practice drills — a cautious approach as the Red Wings aim to avoid aggravating the injury.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-matthew-schaefer-shares-honest-take-on-winning-losing-after-ny-islanders-win-over-sharks"></div>


In his absence, rookie Michael Brandsegg-Nygard has stepped into Kane’s role on the second line, skating alongside Marco Kasper and Alex DeBrincat. The 20-year-old, selected 15th overall in the 2024 NHL Draft, has yet to record his first career NHL point through six games.



<h2>Detroit staying confident despite schedule challenge</h2>



The Red Wings’ upcoming schedule won’t make things easy, with seven of their next eight games coming on the road. Still, Kane’s one-year, $3 million contract extension has already proven valuable, as he’s contributed five points (two goals, three assists) through just five games this season.

A 19-year <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> veteran, Kane remains a crucial piece of Detroit’s leadership core and offensive depth. Last season, he tallied 59 points in 72 regular-season appearances — production the Red Wings hope to regain once their star winger returns to full health.

Red Wings' McLellan provides key injury update on star forward Kane after scary collision

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> will be without star forward Patrick Kane for Sunday’s showdown against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/connor-mcdavid">Connor McDavid</a> and the Edmonton Oilers due to an upper-body injury, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com. 



Head coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Kane sustained the injury late in Friday’s 2–1 overtime victory over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-lightning">Tampa Bay Lightning</a>, though the team has not provided a timeline for his return.



Kane has been a key contributor in Detroit’s top-six rotation this season, recording five points — two goals and three assists — in the first five games. His absence is expected to prompt lineup adjustments, potentially affecting power-play units and ice-time distribution among forwards.



Detroit will face the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/edmonton-oilers">Edmonton Oilers</a> at Little Caesars Arena, with puck drop scheduled for 7:00 PM ET, and fans will be watching closely to see how the team adapts without their veteran forward.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251018_BUS_511377_patrick-kane-3-1024x576_42bfcff8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-511400" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



<h2>Impact on Detroit’s lineup</h2>



Kane’s injury opens the door for other players to step up. If fellow forward Lucas Raymond remains unavailable due to an upper-body issue, rookie Jonatan Berggren is expected to slot into the lineup. McLellan may also shuffle other forwards to compensate for Kane’s absence on both the top-six rotation and special teams.

<h2>Facing the Oilers</h2>



The Edmonton Oilers bring a potent offense led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Detroit will need to adjust its strategy to limit the impact of Edmonton’s top scorers while managing the gaps created by Kane’s absence.

Red Wings get unexpected Kane injury update ahead of showdown vs McDavid's Oilers

The Detroit Red Wings, led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a>, are facing a crowded blue line early in the 2025-26 season. With the emergence of rookie Axel Sandin-Pellikka and the continued development of young defensemen like Simon Edvinsson, Albert Johansson, and Jacob Bernard-Docker, ice time has become a premium commodity. Veteran rearguards are starting to feel the squeeze, as opportunities on the roster grow limited.



General Manager Steve Yzerman has reportedly begun evaluating the market to see which veteran defenders could attract interest from other NHL clubs. The move reflects the organization’s desire to balance its roster while giving younger talent the chance to thrive in high-leverage situations.



During Wednesday’s DFO Rundown Insider Edition, David Pagnotta noted that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Red Wings</a> are actively assessing options. “There is some talk that the Wings are looking at and are open to moving some of their defencemen, and I think there’s mutual interest there from the player side of things,” he said, referencing Erik Gustafsson and Travis Hamonic. 



Pagnotta added: “Those are a couple of veteran pieces… it doesn’t look like there’s much room for some of these guys. I think they’ve started to explore that possibility of moving them or at least letting everybody know that there’s some availability there.”

<h2>Which veteran defensemen could be on the move?</h2>



Both Gustafsson and Hamonic are on expiring contracts, with cap hits of $2 million and $1 million, respectively. Their experience makes them appealing trade pieces for clubs seeking depth on the blue line, while Detroit continues to prioritize the development of its younger defensemen.

“They’ve got a bunch of different pieces that they’re willing to explore on,” Pagnotta added. “But because of the plethora of guys on that backend, don’t be surprised to hear guys like Hamonic and Gustafsson’s name out there, especially in the next little bit.”

Detroit’s roster moves will be closely monitored over the coming weeks as the team works to optimize its defense corps while keeping veterans productive and the team competitive.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> extended their early-season momentum Wednesday night with a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers. From the opening face-off, the energy in the building signaled a team ready to respond after an opening-night loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Every shot and pass reflected urgency, as Detroit sought to assert itself against a skilled opponent.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a> provided the go-ahead goal, while Mason Appleton scored twice, including a quick strike in the second period that set the pace for the game. Michael Rasmussen added a goal and an assist, and both captain Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat tallied two assists each, showcasing a balanced offensive attack. Cam Talbot made 20 saves, marking his third consecutive win to start the season.



Despite the absence of Lucas Raymond, Detroit’s leader Larkin highlighted the team’s approach after the game, according to <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/florida-panthers-detroit-red-wings-game-recap-october-15-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">NHL.com</a>: “I think we’ve been much smarter than we were on the first night. We’re still aggressive and we still have speed. It’s early, but this is a good response, especially against the back-to-back champs.” His comments highlighted Detroit’s focus and discipline as the team continues its hot start.



<h2>Can Detroit maintain momentum without Lucas Raymond?</h2>



With Raymond sidelined day-to-day, Appleton moved to the top line and made an immediate impact, scoring at 2:09 of the second period with a one-timer from the right face-off circle. Kane’s 5-on-3 power-play goal at 9:36 extended the lead to 2-0, his 494th career <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> goal. “There are nights when special teams will have to win a game for you, and this was a good example of that,” coach Todd McLellan said.

</div></figure>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brad-marchand">Brad Marchand</a> cut the deficit to 2-1 in the second period, but Appleton and Rasmussen added empty-net goals late to secure the win. Talbot’s performance was critical, as Larkin noted: “When he’s hot, he’s one of the top goalies in the League.”

As Detroit looks ahead to its next game, the Red Wings will aim to sustain their winning streak while managing injuries and relying on Kane, Appleton, and Larkin to drive their offensive success. Florida, meanwhile, will seek to bounce back with Marchand and Anton Lundell expected to lead the charge.

After Patrick Kane's Red Wings win over Panthers, captain Dylan Larkin makes something clear on team focus

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Kane</a> and the Detroit Red Wings skipped a beat after watching Lucas Raymond go down with an injury early in the NHL season. However, after head coach Todd McLellan’s latest update, the roster in Motor City can breathe normally again.



After taking a hit from Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev against the boards, Raymond exited the game. The Swedish star didn’t return to the ice, setting alarms off in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit</a>. However, there may be little reason for Kane, McLellan, and company to stress about.



The Red Wings have listed Lucas Raymond as day-to-day with an upper body injury, as announced by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/todd-mclellan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McLellan</a> during a media availability. Though he won’t play against the Florida Panthers on October 15, it shouldn’t be too long before he is back on the ice for Detroit’s 100th NHL season.



<h2>An apple a day</h2>



With Raymond out of the game, McLellan resorted to Mason Appleton, who jumped onto the Red Wings’ top line. The move paid dividends as the former Winnipeg Jets’ forward scored the game-winning goal with less than a minute left in regulation. It was Appleton’s first tally in a Red Wings uniform, and might be a cornerstone for his production in Detroit to reach another level. 



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Lucas Raymond has gone to the Red Wings&apos; locker room after this hit from Chris Tanev <a href="https://t.co/tyyK1vnRLj">pic.twitter.com/tyyK1vnRLj</a>— B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) <a href="https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1977817193556693137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



“I thought he did a good job,” McLellan said about Appleton, per Detroit Hockey Now. “He’s got some experience. He can play both ends of the rink, which is important. That line takes on not only offensive responsibilities but some defensive ones against the other team’s top players. So we think he can give us something on both sides of the puck.”


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-red-wings-todd-mclellan-makes-tough-admission-despite-back-to-back-wins-over-auston-matthews-maple-leafs"></div>


<h2>It’s now or never</h2>



The Red Wings have missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the last nine <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a> seasons. Kane and McLellan know the 2025-26 campaign might finally be the right time to clinch a postseason berth once and for all. 



A quick glance around the Atlantic Division tells the Red Wings all they need to know. The Florida Panthers are battling more injuries than any team can realistically manage, the Toronto Maple Leafs are still adapting to Mitch Marner’s absence, and the Tampa Bay Lightning are facing an aging crisis. As for the Ottawa Senators, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/brady-tkachuk-injured-when-was-the-last-time-both-he-and-matthew-were-simultaneously-out-long-term" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brady Tkachuk injured long-term</a>, they are in for a true trial by fire. 



The Montreal Canadiens boast as much talent as any roster in the league, but they’re still a bit wet behind the ears. The Boston Bruins are still figuring themselves out under a new head coach, while the Buffalo Sabres are inching closer to throwing in the towel with each passing day—and it’s only the third week of October. If the Red Wings can’t make the most of this opportunity, it might be time to scribble out the “Yzerplan” altogether.

Kane, Red Wings breathe sigh of relief after McLellan’s update on teammate

With the NHL season approaching, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a> and the Detroit Red Wings are eyeing the final adjustments to their lineup. On that note, the suspense around the Pittsburgh Penguins could be the perfect distraction to acquire a teammate of Sidney Crosby.



It’s often in times of great confusion where the creative minds make their moves. Kane’s Red Wings could be following that example as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sidney-crosby">Crosby</a>‘s future with the Penguins remains uncertain. While all eyes are fixed on the captain in The Burgh, the team in Motor City could chime in to complete a trade for another star on the roster.



It could be genius—but it will require flawless execution from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Red Wings</a>. Erik Karlsson has been one of the most talked-about names in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-penguins">Pittsburgh</a> during the NHL offseason. However, the buzz has toned down significantly over the past few weeks. Now, a report suggests it could be reignited with a loud thud as Detroit lurks.



“I wouldn’t be shocked if you hear his name pop up sooner rather than later; Detroit’s the team I’ve heard the most,” insider Josh Yohe admitted during an appearance on the Kevin Karius Show.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250910_BUS_489105_sidney-crosby-1-1-1024x576_0090d7f1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Sidney Crosby playing for the Penguins" class="wp-image-488945" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sidney Crosby during the 2023 Discover NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Why the sudden noise around Crosby?</h2>



With Crosby approaching the twilight of his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> career and the Penguins in no position to compete, it’s no wonder many believe the 38-year-old captain could be eyeing a fresh start. 


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/sidney-crosbys-future-reportedly-out-of-penguins-control-as-mackinnons-avalanche-could-beat-laines-canadiens"></div>


His childhood club, the Montreal Canadiens, emerge as frontrunners if Crosby ever requests a trade out of the City of Bridges. It remains unlikely, but the odds are never zero—and each deflating year in Pittsburgh only adds to the pressure that could eventually force Sid’s hand.



“I get it. Trust me, growing up a Montreal fan and being from not too far from there, I understand how passionate they are. And I get why that would come up and that sort of thing (speculation),” Crosby admitted to The Athletic. 



“It doesn’t make it any easier when you’re losing to hear those things. But at the same time, to know that a team like that wants you, it’s not the end of the world. It could be worse. Yeah, I think that’s just part of it.”



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">ERIK KARLSSON WINS IT! 🙌 He finds the back of the net in <a href="https://twitter.com/Energizer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Energizer</a> overtime to give the <a href="https://twitter.com/penguins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@penguins</a> back-to-back wins! <a href="https://t.co/SnMpChfR7s">pic.twitter.com/SnMpChfR7s</a>— NHL (@NHL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1899638617644953746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 12, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<h2>Red Wings, blue line</h2>



As it stands, Kane and the Red Wings have much use for reinforcements to their defensive-corps. Moreover, an addition like Karlsson could be huge on both ends of the ice. Currently, this is how the blueline looks for Detroit, per Daily Faceoff.



<ul><li>Ben Chiarot – Moritz Seider</li><li>Simon Edvinsson – Albert Johansson</li><li>Erik Gustafsson – Jacob Bernard Docker</li></ul>



Karlsson could be slotted into any defensive pairing and immediately boost both point production and defensive output for the Red Wings, night in and night out. Fans in the 313 are already salivating at the thought of a Seider–Karlsson duo.



Whether that’s the best option or if the Red Wings should spread out their defensive combos is another question—one for the future, more importantly. For now, it’s fair to let fans aim for the sky and shoot for the stars.

Amid Crosby drama, Kane's Red Wings reportedly in line to snatch Penguins' star

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a> continues to redefine longevity in the NHL. The Detroit Red Wings forward has captured three Stanley Cups and a Calder Trophy, yet one major achievement remains elusive: Olympic gold. As the U.S. Men’s Olympic Orientation Camp kicks off ahead of Milano Cortina 2026, Kane is laser-focused on one last shot to reach the pinnacle of international hockey.



Despite a decorated career, Kane’s motivation is not fueled by past accolades. He wants to earn a roster spot on merit, not reputation. “I don’t want to be selected for what I’ve done in the past. You want to be selected for the player you are and what you can bring to the team,” he said, according to <a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/patrick-kane-hoping-for-one-more-chance-at-olympic-gold-for-usa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">NHL.com</a>, emphasizing that the upcoming Games are about present performance, not legacy.



Kane has witnessed the U.S. miss out on gold in recent best-on-best tournaments, including the 2014 Olympics and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. Watching from afar during the 2024 Four Nations Face-Off, Kane felt the sting of exclusion, but it only strengthened his resolve to reclaim the spotlight.



<h2>Can Kane lead the U.S. back to gold?</h2>



Kane enters the new season having thrived under <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> coach Todd McLellan. After the midseason coaching change last year, Kane recorded 45 points in 43 games and expects the team’s more aggressive style to complement his strengths from the start. “There’s really no excuse for me not to have a good start,” he said confidently.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250827_BUS_480209_kane-patrick-1024x576_eebdf7ad.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-480246" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Kane, #88 of the Detroit Red Wings, has a clear objective with Team USA. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



His veteran presence carries weight both on the ice and in the locker room. Teammates such as Dylan Larkin and Auston Matthews have praised Kane’s leadership and consistency, with Matthews noting, “He’s still one of my favorite players to watch. The way he controls the game is remarkable.” Kane’s point-per-game pace positions him among the top U.S.-born NHL scorers, just 32 points shy of surpassing Mike Modano.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-news-golden-knights-center-could-be-the-maple-leafs-surprise-playoff-weapon-for-auston-matthews"></div>


<h2>Why this Olympic window matters</h2>



The 2026 Games represent more than personal achievement for Kane—they symbolize a chance to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/team-usa">Team USA</a> break Canada’s recent dominance. “Yeah, that’s all it is, is gold,” Kane said. “They’ve won the last two Olympics and World Cups in best-on-best. That’s what it’s all about.”



With his combination of experience, skill, and mentoring presence, Kane could become a key factor in bridging the gap for younger U.S. stars. How he performs at the orientation camp may determine not only his own inclusion but the team’s overall strategy heading into Milano Cortina.

As training ramps up, eyes will remain on Kane to see if he can translate his elite NHL production to the international stage and finally claim the Olympic gold that has eluded him throughout a storied career.

The Detroit Red Wings boast star players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NHL</a>, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Kane</a>. However, it’s not only the present that matters for the franchise; there are also moments to honor past stars, especially those who have won the Stanley Cup.



Kane has become the current face of the Wings since his arrival in 2023 and continues to strengthen his legacy in the city. The veteran forward still has much to contribute during his tenure in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit</a>, solidifying his role as an offensive leader. Additionally, he was one of the U.S. players invited to the Olympic Orientation Camp.



At the same time, Detroit is taking the time to plan a lasting and symbolic tribute for one of its greatest stars: Sergei Fedorov, the three-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanley-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stanley Cup</a> champion with the Red Wings, who now has a date set for the retirement of his jersey number.



<h2>When will Fedorov’s number be retired by the Red Wings?</h2>



The Red Wings announced that Sergei Fedorov’s No. 91 will be officially retired on January 12, 2026, during a pregame ceremony against the Carolina Hurricanes at Little Caesars Arena. Fedorov, an eternal member of the historic “Russian Five” and a key figure in the dynasty that won three Stanley Cups, will see his jersey raised to honor his unforgettable career.

<h2>Fedorov’s remarkable career with the Red Wings</h2>



Sergei Fedorov had a legendary career with the Red Wings, playing from 1990 to 2003 and then returning briefly in 2008-2009. The Russian star distinguished himself with his versatility on the ice, combining speed, offensive skill, and defensive reliability.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/patrick-kanes-red-wings-add-former-senators-defenseman-and-brady-tkachuk-teammate-in-major-nhl-roster-upgrade"></div>


Fedorov won the Selke Trophy as the NHL’s best defensive forward twice (1993-94, 1995-96) and captured the Stanley Cup three times (1997, 1998, 2002). He is also the second player in Red Wings history to record over 100 points in two seasons (1993-94, 1995-96). In Stanley Cup Playoffs action with Detroit, he tallied 163 points (50 goals, 113 assists), ranking third in the team’s playoff history.

Patrick Kane’s Red Wings set date to honor 3x Stanley Cup champion legend

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> have officially signed veteran defenseman Travis Hamonic, a former teammate of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brady-tkachuk">Brady Tkachuk</a> with the Ottawa Senators, to a one-year contract with an AAV of $1,000,000, the team confirmed Friday. The move provides the Red Wings with additional depth and experience on a defensive corps that has seen several changes this offseason.



Hamonic, 34, brings a physical presence and veteran leadership to Detroit’s locker room. Last season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ottawa-senators">Ottawa Senators</a>, he appeared in 59 games, registering seven points (one goal, six assists), 92 blocked shots, and averaging 17:04 of ice time per game. Known for his stay-at-home style, he is expected to compete for a third-pairing role, though his versatility could prove valuable if injuries arise.



The signing highlights Detroit’s ongoing focus on strengthening its roster around captain <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-kane">Patrick Kane</a>, who enters the new season as the cornerstone of the team’s offense. With Hamonic joining the fold, the Red Wings aim to combine veteran experience with emerging talent to contend for a playoff spot.



<h2>How Hamonic strengthens Detroit’s defense</h2>



The addition of Hamonic gives the Red Wings eight defensemen under contract, alongside Moritz Seider, Ben Chiarot, Justin Holl, Erik Gustafsson, and prospects like Simon Edvinsson and Albert Johansson. His experience in high-pressure situations, including playoff runs with the Senators, is expected to help guide the younger players on the roster.
