With December only a few days away, we’re just about a month off from one of the newest yearly NHL traditions: the Winter Classic. Last year, during its inaugural year, the NHL Winter Classic featured a classic bout between the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins.

After a five-game winning streak, the Red Wings have hit a small bump in the road.

BARRIE, Ontario - Ex-Detroit Red Wings member Armand “Bep” Guidolin, who at 16 became the youngest player to skate in an NHL game and later coached Hall of Famer Bobby Orr, has died. He was 82.

Carey Price made 32 saves, and Maxim Lapierre, Tomas Plekanec and Christopher Higgins scored second-period goals in the Montreal Canadiens’ 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.

The Red Wings and Canadiens both had the top record in their respective conferences a season ago, and both are off to solid starts this year. The two teams collide tonight, when Detroit hosts Montreal at Joe Louis Arena.

We are just about at the quarter pole of the NHL season with 305 of the 1230 games having been played. Some teams such as the Sharks, Red Wings, Bruins, Rangers, etc

The Red Wings were some three minutes from claiming yet another victory on the road when the Canucks put on the brakes. Sami Salo followed through on Daniel Sedin’s third-period tying goal by scoring in overtime Monday night at GM Place, forcing the Wings to accept a 3-2 loss.

Sami Salo scored on a power play in overtime to give the Vancouver Canucks a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday.

The Vancouver Canucks will attempt to post a season-high fourth straight win tonight, but will likely have do so without netminder Robert Luongo when they host the Detroit Red Wings at GM Place.

Teams in the NHL have played about 10 games so far, so it seems fitting that we take a look at where things stand now.
