Detroit Red Wings News

Raymond exited Monday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after only 7:58 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He skated at practice on Wednesday but did not participate in team drills, and it's unclear when he may return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Raymond was off to a strong start to the season, with three points (2G / 1A) in three games. Elmer Soderblom will draw into Detroit's lineup on Wednesday as Raymond's replacement.

After John Gibson's porous debut in Detroit's season-opening 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Talbot has been awarded his third consecutive start on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. The 38-year-old Talbot has been excellent in his limited action this season, posting a 2.11 GAA, a .925 SV%, and a perfect 2-0-0 record. Still, the Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against a Panthers team coming off their first loss of the 2025-26 season (3-1-0).

The Red Wings have struggled with stability between the pipes the last several seasons and will hope the offseason acquisition of John Gibson can return them to playoff contention. The 32-year-old Gibson has battled injuries over his career but played well when called upon in his final season with the Anaheim Ducks, posting a 2.77 GAA and .911 SV% in 29 outings (11-11-2). The Red Wings enter their season opener on Thursday as -130 home favorites against a Montreal Canadiens team on the tail end of a back-to-back.

Hamonic will join his fifth NHL organization in his 16th season after he signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Detroit on Friday to provide some defensive depth. The 35-year-old stay-at-home defender appeared in 59 games with Ottawa in 2024-25, picking up a goal, seven points, and a -16 plus/minus. He is expected to compete for a spot in Detroit's third defensive pairing to start the season.

Detroit's 2025 1st Round Pick (13th overall) has signed a three-year, entry-level contract on Wednesday.

He is expected to return to the Silvertips for a fourth junior season in 2025-26.

Appleton has spent the last 3.5 season in Winnipeg, where he was an important part of their third line and penalty kill. He'll fill a similar role in Detroit and will try to help a Red Wings' PK that ranked last in the NHL last season (70.1%). Appleton doesn't bring a ton of offence with him, averaging 13 goals and 18 assists (31 points) per 82 games over the last two seasons.

Detroit added to its minor league depth on Tuesday by signing John Leonard to a one-year, $775,000 contract. The 26-year-old winger finished in goals across the AHL with 36 and 61 points in 72 games played with Charlotte (AHL) in 2024-25. He should compete for a bottom-six spot on the Red Wings this season.

Entering his 17th NHL season, the Red Wings add more veteran experience by signing van Riemsdyk to a one-year deal worth $1 million.
