Detroit Red Wings Record – Last Season Recap
The Detroit Red Wings’ standings in 2023-24 were heartbreaking. Detroit finished just shy of the postseason. Its 91 points are its best result since 2015-16, the last time the franchise played in the playoffs. Detroit also had a positive goal differential for the first time in a decade.
Final 2023-24 Record:
Detroit fell just short of cashing its NHL Playoff odds. Still, the Red Wings’ 91 points went over its projected regular-season total of 85.5 points. This is the first time since 2020-21 that Detroit did better than the oddsmakers projected.
Top Performers:
Had Detroit gotten a full season from captain Dylan Larkin, it could have made the playoffs. The center led the team with 33 goals and was second in points with 69 despite playing only 68 games. Lucas Raymond led the team in scoring with 72 points.
Detroit Red Wings Trades (Additions and Subtractions)
The Red Wings made plenty of NHL news with big moves this offseason. It’s hard to gauge just how much better (or worse) the Red Wings got based on their acquisitions and subtractions.
Key Departures:
- F Robby Fabbri
- F David Perron
- D Jake Walman
- D Shayne Gostisbehere
- G James Reimer
Key Additions:
- F Vladimir Tarasenko
- F Tyler Motte
- D Erik Gustafsson
- G Jack Campbell
- G Cam Talbot
The most significant Detroit Red Wings trades involved dealing Fabbri, who played for them for five seasons. But Detroit also had a big get by signing star forward Vladimir Tarasenko. Detroit also bolstered its goaltending with two big additions in Campbell and Talbot.
Red Wings Prediction for the 2024-25 NHL Season
Detroit will once again be tough to measure as an NHL pick. The Wings will be a fringe playoff team yet again. On a game-to-game basis, Detroit finished 46-36 against the puck line in 2023-24 and was hot and cold throughout the season.
Regular Season Wins Prediction
The Detroit Red Wings prediction is 89.5 points per the NHL lines. This is the highest regular-season point projection since the 2015-16 season. Detroit will need to do better in regulation as it only managed 27 wins here in 2023-24, which was the fourth-fewest in the Eastern Conference.
Playoff Chances
The team is nearly 50/50 when it comes to Detroit Red Wings odds to make the playoffs. This depends on how healthy the team stays and how good its goaltending is. This has been a weakness for the team for over a decade.
Key Players to Watch
Speaking of goaltending, keep an eye on Talbot and Alex Lyon. The Red Wings finished tied for 19th in save percentage and were 24th in goals against. Detroit will need above-average play in goal to snap its decade-long playoff drought.
Coaching Analysis
Derek Lalonde could be on the hot seat for the Red Wings. He nearly got the team to the playoffs last season so there are increased expectations for the third-year head coach. If Detroit regresses, Lalonde could be thrown under the bus.
