Detroit Red Wings News and Rumors

The Detroit Red Wings were founded in 1926 by Charles A. Hughes as one of the NHL’s Original Six franchises and were known as the Detroit Cougars until 1930. For the 1930–31 and 1931–32 seasons, the team was called the Detroit Falcons, and in 1932 changed its name to the Red Wings. They played their first game on Nov. 18, 1926, against the Boston Bruins, which they lost 2-0. They’ve won 11 Stanley Cups, ranking them third behind the Montreal Canadiens (24) and Toronto Maple Leafs (13), with their last Cup occurring in 2008. The Red Wings qualified for the playoffs in 25 consecutive seasons from 1990-91 through 2015-16, which is tied for the third-longest streak in NHL history.
