Detroit Red Wings 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Following a 13-17-4 start, Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman was left with no choice but to fire head coach Derek Lalonde, who was beginning his third season. Last year, the Red Wings had a shot for their first playoff spot since 2016, but they faded down the stretch. Lalonde was unable to jumpstart the improvements this year. Todd McClellan, the former successful head coach of the San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings, brings instant credibility behind the bench. The Red Wings showed immediate improvement upon his arrival.
