Every game for the Detroit Red Wings right now feels bigger than the last. In a crowded Eastern Conference wild-card race, that would have been true even if the Red Wings hadn’t squandered a lead by losing six straight — but it’s especially true given they did.

The Detroit Red Wings picked up a big win on Sunday over the Vegas Golden Knights. Goalie Petr Mrazek made 17 saves in his third start since returning to the team at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. And he kept Vegas off the board entirely as the Red Wings claimed a 3-0 win.

Getting an important boost of confidence ahead of a four-game road trip that will open in the nation’s capital in two days, the Detroit Red Wings saw goalie Petr Mrazek stop all 18 shots he faced en route to a 3-0 shutout victory over the Vegas Golden Knights at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday afternoon.
