The Detroit Red Wings have recently experienced a mix of triumphs and challenges on the ice.
Victory Over Toronto Maple Leafs
On December 14, 2024, the Red Wings secured a 4-2 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Defenseman Jeff Petry was instrumental, scoring his first two goals of the season. Goaltender Ville Husso also made a significant impact, achieving his first win in over a year with 23 saves. Additional goals from Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond contributed to this morale-boosting win.
Disciplinary Action
Following the game against Toronto, forward Jonatan Berggren was fined $2,148.44 for cross-checking Maple Leafs forward Connor Dewar during the second period. Berggren received a minor penalty for the infraction, and the fine represents the maximum allowable under the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement.
Defeat Against Philadelphia Flyers
Earlier, on December 12, 2024, the Red Wings faced a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Scott Laughton of the Flyers scored all four goals, tying a franchise record. Detroit’s lone goal was scored by Ben Chiarot, and goaltender Cam Talbot made 32 saves in the effort.
Upcoming Schedule
Looking ahead, the Red Wings are preparing for their next matchup against the Winnipeg Jets on December 20, 2024. The team aims to build on their recent victory and address areas of concern to improve their standing in the Atlan
tic Division.
