Building through the draft can be a long and laborious process, especially when you have no lottery luck. Six years into Steve Yzerman’s tenure as general manager, the Red Wings are seeing the results of their amateur scouting.

Todd McLellan wants to see if any Detroit Red Wings step up with Andrew Copp out, but Steve Yzerman may need to make trade.

Detroit Red Wings forward Andrew Copp has been ruled out for the remainder the season after undergoing surgery on his left pectoral tendon.

Edvinsson put the Red Wings ahead 3-2 at 11:35 of the third. Albert Johansson got the puck in the right circle and looked to the net before slamming on the breaks and finding Edvinsson with a cross-ice pass for a slap shot from the top of the left circle that went in over Gustavsson’s glove.

The Detroit Red Wings overcame a bad start to beat the Minnesota Wild 3-2 thanks to two goals from defenseman Simon Edvinsson.

The Red Wings (30-22-6, 66 points) battled back from a two-goal deficit in the first period and have earned five of a possible six points in three games after the 4 Nations Face-Off break. They maintained their top wild card position in the Eastern Conference.
