Detroit Red Wings 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
During the 2024-25 season, the Detroit Red Wings were sparked by a coaching change to emerge in a playoff position, only to collapse and miss the postseason. Then, Red Wings have hit the golf links early every season since 2017, but last year was the second consecutive season that they were knocking at the door. Fans and gamblers are getting frustrated with the slow pace of general manager Steve Yzerman’s rebuild. Thus, 2025-26 is viewed as a season that must conclude with a playoff berth. Last year, head coach. Todd McClellan took over as head coach after a 13-17-4 start and oversaw a 26-18-4 improvement, sparking optimism.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: James van Riemsdyk, Mason Appleton, Jacob Bernard-Docker, John Gibson
Out: Vladimir Tarasenko, Tyler Motte, Jeff Petry, Alex Lyon, Petr Mrazek
The Red Wings may have mostly operated around the edges, but the team looks better because of it, even if none of the players they brought in appear to bring a lot to the table. James van Riemsdyk and Mason Appleton aren’t anything special, but it's better than playing someone like Tyler Motte. Jacob Bernard-Docker doesn’t look like much either, but if the alternative is Jeff Petry or Justin Holl, that’s a small win for the Red Wings, too.
The biggest change, though, is between the pipes. John Gibson’s track record has been spotty of late, but he looked genuinely locked in last season and should provide a more stable presence over Alex Lyon.
It’s a patchwork job, and the team still needs work overall to make the postseason, but the Red Wings do look incrementally more competitive.
Credit to GM Steve Yzerman for finally finding a new home for Gibson. That pre-free agency trade felt like a long time coming and not only gives Gibson a fresh start but also upgrades Detroit's goaltending situation (which was a clear priority heading into the offseason).
Depth is a good thing to have. But the Red Wings needed a bigger name to boost their back end and would have also benefited from improved top-six scoring potential. Those areas may still require attention.
Key Players
RW Lucas Raymond led the Red Wings in 2023-24 with 31 goals, 41 assists, and a -12. It was the best season of his career. Raymond was the 4th overall pick of the Red Wings in 2020.
