Everything you need to know about the Detroit Red Wings' 2021-22 NHL season

The Detroit Red Wings open their 2021-22 NHL season Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena with a matchup against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning (who are already 0-1-0, thanks to a 6-2 loss Tuesday to the Pittsburgh Penguins. At least the Bolts got to raise their latest banner in front of fans.)

After two chaotic seasons for the Wings, life should be mostly back to normal when the puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Dylan Larkin is still the captain, the jerseys are still red and white and the Wings are still projected to finish well back of the playoff herd.
