The Detroit Red Wings open their 2024-25 season at Little Caesars Arena against the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday at 8 p.m. on Bally Sports Detroit.

The Wings are looking to build on last year’s season, in which they narrowly missed the postseason, and are aiming to make up for it this year with a trip to the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Last season, the Wings finished with a 41-32-9 record and missed the playoffs as the Washington Capitals held the season tiebreaker.

The Wings’ season opener was postponed an hour due to the Tigers’ playoff game on Thursday, which will also take place in downtown Detroit at 6:08 p.m.

The Red Wings released this statement regarding the decision to reschedule the game: “Because heavy traffic is expected in downtown Detroit that evening, fans are encouraged to arrive early and allow themselves extra time by booking in advance reserve parking at Olympia Parking locations by visiting ParkWhiz.com.”

Although they won only three of their eight preseason games, the Wings split their two-game series with the Penguins.
