Red Wings January 2026 Game Threads

[Motor City Sonics]

Wait, they've been back in Winnipeg for 15 years already? 

 

How did 15 years go by so damn fast?

Successful 2-0-1 road trip.

how about Finne's pass, 

That was the second goal. Beautiful. Then the ENG and Kasper getting one to pile on. For a game the Wings looked listless for so long, they showed up in the 3rd.

Is Kane pressing?

Kasper had 6 points in his first 47 games this season. He has picked up 6 more in his past 5 games. So 5-7-12 in 52GP for the season to date.

That’s the second 2-1 rush Kasper and Larkin had, the first was after an amazing takeaway just outside the zone. Kasper must have seen something becuase the took the shot both times and scored on the second one.

Gibson is 17-2 since december started.  vezina type work.

This is such a fun roster, love to see a dominant win even when they’re missing edvinsson.

Johansson is the best surprise this calendar year. He’s looked really good lately. Soderblom/Rasmussen/Appleton have been surprisingly effective recently.

no surprise that kasper starts getting on the scoresheet more when he's back with raymond and larkin for a lot of the time.

also - they noted the other night that Casper was leading the team in hits - I can understand the young guy trying to prove himself to his coach and team mates that way, especially if the points weren't coming easy, but I wonder if it became a bit of a trap for him. Probably not what he should have been spending so much of his focus on.

I kouldn't help myself.

That’s 3 home games this week, 2 road games next week. Does it mean they expect him to be back immediately after the break once games resume?

edvinsson out through the olympic break.  😞

[lordstanley]

Wings come out flying the first 30 seconds against the Kings

[lordstanley]

Back to back penalty kills required. 2 minutes down, 2 minutes to go.

asp really belongs in grand rapids.  poor kid.

[lordstanley]

Wings look flat. Including a dismal powerplay to end the period. 1-0 Kings after 2. 

[buddha]

ok, need a big third period.  losing at home to the kings would not be great.

[Sports_Freak]

The Kings lead the league with 7 short handed goals. According to Ken Daniels.

yeah - 10 shots through 40min, Wings had better have been banking their energy for the big finish.
