Detroit — Sunday marked the one-month anniversary of Todd McLellan taking over as head coach of the Red Wings. McLellan replaced Derek Lalonde on Dec. 26, with the Wings in seventh place in the Atlantic Division and eight points out of an Eastern Conference playoff spot.

Red Wings coach Todd McLellan opened up about the impact Lucas Raymond has on his team after defeating the Kings.

The Detroit Red Wings believe in themselves again, says new head coach Todd McLellan. That has made all the difference in the world.

McLellan and his right-hand man, former Kings and Ducks assistant Trent Yawney, have put their imprint on the winged wheel in short order. “Our structure in all three zones (has improved), I feel like we’re just supporting the puck better,” Talbot told The Detroit News.

The Detroit Red Wings entered this week playing extremely well for head coach Todd McLellan. McLellan sparked the Red Wings to seven straight wins before a loss to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. However,

With each passing day, the Detroit Red Wings are gathering more evidence that their kids are alright. On a night when 31-year-old Dominik Shine was making his NHL debut for Detroit, the fingerprints of the future of the franchise were all over Monday’s 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

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 Detroit Red Wings' future is being shaped by GM Steve Yzerman's front office planning meetings, and by coach Todd McLellan's work with prospects.
