The Wings have played only three games and no definitive decisions are going to be made after such a small sample size.

DETROIT -- Going into this past weekend, the Detroit Red Wings’ 2025-26 preseason roster was at 25 players – 14 forwards, nine defensemen and two goaltenders. But by 5 p.m. ET on Monday, the deadline that NHL clubs must submit their first active rosters of the campaign, that number must be trimmed to 23.

Detroit — It looks like the Red Wings are going to finally get forward James van Riemsdyk into the lineup. The veteran wing was working on a line with Michael Rasmussen and Mason Appleton during Sunday's practice, and after a week of practicing, he appears ready to get into live NHL games.
