Todd McLellan voiced a very powerful comment to the players in the Detroit Red Wings locker room, including a special mention for veteran leader Patrick Kane.

The Detroit Red Wings will be without Patrick Kane when they welcome the Montreal Canadiens to Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night.

Kane remains day-to-day according to the Wings, so his placement won't impact his return date, especially having already been ruled out against the Kings on Monday. It does free up a roster spot to bring a forward up from AHL Grand Rapids, a move that would seem to indicate that Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) won't be healthy enough to play.

Detroit Red Wings star Patrick Kane didn't mince words when addressing the team's performance during the awful 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran AHL player Dominik Shine and called him up to help them deal with their latest injury issues. The Red Wings announced that Patrick Kane was placed on the injured reserve,

Kane is a nine-time NHL All-Star and won the Hart Trophy which is the league’s MVP in 2016. The Maple Leafs are a legit Stanley Cup contender but Toronto still has some holes on its roster.

Patrick Kane and the Red Wings won again on Thursday night, securing a 5-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers.

The Red Wings are struggling for offense these days and the team didn't get news Thursday that'll necessarily help that matter.

Noah Dobson is out week to week for the Islanders because of a lower-body injury that will not require surgery. The defenseman was injured on a hit by Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger at 1:14 of the third period during a 3-1 win Monday. Dobson left under his own power but did not return.

After getting by on minor league hockey contracts for nine seasons, former Pinckney student Dominik Shine made his NHL debut at age 31 with Detroit.
