Red Wings' Chase Stillman: Surfaces on injured non-roster
Stillman (undisclosed) was moved to the injured non-roster list Monday.
Stillman notched three goals and nine points in 24 appearances for AHL Abbotsford during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he is ready to play, he will likely be assigned to AHL Grand Rapids.

Bear (upper body) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Bear notched 36 goals and 77 points in 53 games for WHL Everett during the 2025-26 regular season. He will probably head to AHL Grand Rapids once he is cleared to return.

Red Wings' Jacob Bernard-Docker: Lands on injured reserve
The Red Wings placed Bernard-Docker (upper body) on injured reserve Monday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Head coach Todd McLellan announced Friday that Bernard-Docker is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, and the issue will apparently force him to miss the start of the regular season. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but McLellan's remarks last week suggest that the 26-year-old isn't facing a long-term absence to begin the year. Bernard-Docker recorded a goal, four assists, 87 blocked shots, 66 hits and 25 PIM while averaging 14:49 of ice time across 63 regular-season appearances last year.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Two helpers in preseason loss
Kasper pocketed two assists in Saturday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets.
Both helpers came in the third period as Kasper tried to spark a comeback from a 3-0 deficit. The 22-year-old center saw his numbers take a significant step backwards in 2025-26, as he managed just nine goals and 19 points in 81 games, but Kasper could be thrust into a top-six role this season if Dylan Larkin (upper body) gets his desired trade.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Takes loss in preseason finale
Gibson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets. Columbus' final goal was scored into an empty net.
The Red Wings never led in the game, as the Jackets took a 3-0 lead into the third period before Gibson got any sort of offensive support. The long-time Anaheim netminder is coming off a solid first season with Detroit, going 29-22-4 in 57 appearances with a 2.72 GAA and .901 save percentage, and Gibson's spot at the top of the chart chart seems secure with the inconsistent Daniil Tarasov as his primary backup.

Red Wings' Andreas Englund: Claimed off waivers
Detroit claimed Englund off waivers from Calgary on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Englund earned three goals, 13 points and 65 PIM in 52 appearances for AHL Milwaukee during the 2025-26 regular season. Due to Jacob Bernard-Docker's (upper body) injury and Simon Edvinsson's contract situation, Englund could begin the 2026-27 campaign in the NHL with the Red Wings.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Tending twine Saturday
Gibson will guard the home crease in Saturday's preseason contest against the Blue Jackets, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Gibson is expected to play the entirety of Detroit's preseason finale between the pipes. The 33-year-old netminder had a solid first preseason outing, where he allowed just two goals on the 24 shot attempts he saw in a 7-4 win over the Penguins. The veteran backstop is coming off his best year in recent memory and is set to anchor the Red Wings' defense as the clear No. 1 option in net ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Red Wings' Jacob Bernard-Docker: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Todd McLellan said Friday that Bernard-Docker is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Bernard-Docker has appeared in two of the Red Wings' first three exhibition games ahead of the regular season, but he's dealing with an injury ahead of Saturday's preseason finale. It seems likely that he'll be held out for Saturday's exhibition against Columbus, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the team's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers on Oct. 2. The 26-year-old made 63 regualr-season appearances during his first year with the Red Wings in the 2025-26 campaign, and he recorded a goal, four assists, 87 blocked shots, 66 this and 25 PIM while averaging 14:49 of ice time.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Ruled out for preseason finale
Larkin (upper body) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason finale against the Blue Jackets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Head coach Todd McLellan said Friday that Larkin is progressing in his recovery, but he'll ultimately be held out for the Red Wings' final preseason game. Larkin participated in Wednesday's practice session and will now shift his focus toward Detroit's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers on Oct. 2. It's not yet clear whether the 30-year-old will be able to suit up for the regular-season opener, but he's at least progressing in the right direction in his recovery process.

Red Wings' Axel Sandin-Pellikka: Tallies on power play in preseason win
Sandin-Pellikka scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 preseason overtime win over the Sabres.
The fact that Sandin-Pellikka is getting power-play reps with a decent number of NHL players in the lineup is a good sign. He appears to have the edge to open the season with the Red Wings. The defenseman spent most of 2025-26 in the NHL as well, earning 21 points over 68 appearances, including seven power-play points. He'll have deep-league appeal in fantasy if he retains his role with the man advantage into the regular season.

Red Wings' Daniil Tarasov: Earns win Thursday
Tarasov stopped 17 of 19 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres on Thursday.
Tarasov played the full contest. He looks ready for the regular season after allowing just two goals on 34 shots over his two preseason appearances so far. The 27-year-old is projected to serve as John Gibson's backup in 2026-27.

Red Wings' Daniil Tarasov: Expected starter Thursday
Tarasov is slated to start at home against Buffalo for Thursday's preseason game.
Tarasov stopped the 15 shots he faced in regulation during Monday's 1-0 preseason shootout loss to Columbus. He manned the net for 40 minutes of that exhibition contest. Tarasov is expected to open the campaign as Detroit's No. 2 goaltender behind John Gibson.

Red Wings' Carter Bear: Set to miss 7-10 days
Bear (upper body) is expected to be out for the next seven to 10 days, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.
On Wednesday, Head coach Todd McLellan mentioned that Bear was day-to-day, and he shared the young winger's expected timeline of absence Thursday.The 19-year-old winger suited up for Monday's preseason game before he sat out Tuesday's matchup. Regardless of when he returns from his current upper-body issue, the 13th overall selection from the 2025 NHL Entry Draft has bounds of potential and could see his first stint of NHL later in the 2026-27 campaign if Detroit's forward core experiences a couple of injuries.

Red Wings' Ronnie Attard: Put on waivers
Attard was placed on waivers by the Red Wings on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Attard had three goals, 17 points and 38 PIM in 44 regular-season appearances with AHL Colorado in 2025-26. After inking a one-year, two-way contract with the Red Wings over the summer, Attard is expected to open the upcoming campaign with AHL Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Wilmer Skoog: Waived Wednesday
Skoog was waived by Detroit on Wednesday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Skoog inked a one-year, two-way deal with Detroit this summer to potentially provide some depth scoring insurance. The 27-year-old is expected to report to AHL Grand Rapids if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Red Wings' Michael Brandsegg-Nygard: Lights lamp twice in preseason win
Brandsegg-Nygard recorded two goals, including one on the power play, on three shots while also generating eight hits during Tuesday's 7-4 preseason win over the Penguins.
Brandsegg-Nygard has displayed plenty of physicality to begin the preseason, racking up 12 hits over his two appearances. The 20-year-old was also stellar offensively, putting the Red Wings on the board with a first-period goal before scoring again with the man advantage in the third frame. Brandsegg-Nygard made just 14 regular-season appearances in the NHL last season but will likely be in the mix for a more consistent role with Detroit during the 2026-27 campaign.

Red Wings' Carter Bear: Dealing with upper-body injury
Head coach Todd McLellan said Wednesday that Bear is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Bear appeared in Monday's preseason opener against the Blue Jackets, but he didn't suit up for Tuesday's matchup against the Penguins. McLellan said Bear could miss around a week. As a result, Bear is likely to sit out the Red Wings' final two preseason games. However, even if he were healthy, the 2025 first-round pick wasn't expected to begin the 2026-27 campaign on Detroit's Opening Night roster.

Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Practices Wednesday, won't play Thursday
Larkin (upper body) participated in Wednesday's practice session but won't play in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Sabres, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.
Larkin has been recovering from an upper-body injury during training camp. Although he hasn't been cleared to play, head coach Todd McLellan said Wednesday that Larkin is making progress. In addition to missing Thursday's exhibition game, Larkin could also be held out for Saturday's preseason finale against Columbus. It remains unclear whether he'll be in the mix to suit up for the Red Wings' Opening Night matchup against the Rangers on Oct. 2.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Allows two goals in preseason start
Gibson turned aside 22 of 24 shots during Tuesday's 7-4 preseason win over the Penguins.
Gibson drew the start during Tuesday's exhibition and played the first two periods before being replaced by Trey Augustine. Gibson made 57 regular-season appearances in his first year for Detroit in 2025-26, going 29-22-4 with a 2.72 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He's expected to serve as the Red Wings' starting goaltender again in the 2026-27 campaign, with Daniil Tarasov operating as the No. 2 option.
