One of the “Original 6”, the Detroit Red Wings are one of the oldest teams in the National Hockey League (NHL) and have lifted the Stanley Cup an impressive 11 times, which is the most of any franchise from the United States. However, their last championship win was in 2008 and they haven’t qualified for the playoffs since 2016, having not got beyond the first round of the playoffs since 2013. With new coaching acquisitions and new players like Andrew Copp and Ben Chiarot, fans are hoping they’ll reach the playoffs and maybe even achieve winning ways once again!
