KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON: Red Wings’ skid at NHL trade deadline not the same as in 2023
Game notes: After facing playoff contenders for most of the past two weeks — and dropping three straight to them — the Red Wings finally get a break with a visit to the NHL’s smallest arena and the perpetually woebegone Coyotes.
Mullett Arena holds just 4,600 fans in its side hustle as the Coyotes’ temporary-but-not-really home, hosting the Arizona State hockey program in its day gig. That’s more than 10,000 seats fewer than the league’s next smallest arena, in Winnipeg (15,004). Still, the Coyotes’ 30 sellouts this season have been treated to 15 of the team’s 25 victories, and that’s despite a recent 14-game skid that featured five home losses.
The Coyotes, despite that awful skid that torpedoed their early playoff hopes, aren’t completely awful. In late November and early December, they put out a banger of a five-game win streak, topping each of the past five Stanley Cup champs. (They didn’t raise a banner for that, though perhaps they should have.)
Arizona’s ranks in goals for and allowed per game — eighth-worst (2.90) and ninth-worst (3.32), respectively — belie the solid talent on the roster: four-time All-Star Clayton Keller has an outside shot at 30 goals in his age-25 season, 2019 fourth-rounder Matias Maccelli has 33 assists in his third season, and former Minnesota Golden Gophers star Logan Cooley has 10 goals and 19 assists in his rookie campaign and won’t turn 20 until May.
The Wings, meanwhile, are in a bit of an offensive funk; after scoring eight goals against Washington on Feb. 27, they have just five goals in their past three games combined. Two of those belong to Olli Määttä — he had a brace against the New York Islanders on Feb. 29 — which underscores the wobbliness of the offense. Yes, Dylan Larkin is out, but the Patrick Kane/Alex DeBrincat hookup has been toothless, as have depth scorers such as Daniel Spring, Shaybne Gostisbehere and J.T. Compher. Will Wings GM Steve Yzerman double down on offense at today’s trade deadline, pick up a defenseman to shore up the unit that’s allowing the 12th-most goals per game, or stand pat? We’ll find out at 3 p.m.
After that, and after this one, the Wings continue their final Western trip with a jaunt across the desert to Las Vegas, where they’ll face the Golden Knights — who’ve already added offense (former Wing Anthony Mantha) and defense (former Flame Noah Hanifin) — on Saturday at 10 p.m. The Coyotes, meanwhile, will hit the road for a visit to Chicago on Sunday night.

2 injured at Great Lakes Crossing shooting
Two injured in shooting at Great Lakes Crossing; suspect in custody. Authorities ask public to avoid the area.
Three people are dead and at least two others wounded after shootings broke out at Metro Detroit shopping malls just eight days apart.
The shootings all involved young adults, ages 19-22, who carried weapons, at least one lawfully.
At Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills on Saturday, a Pontiac man was killed and a woman injured in the food court after an altercation that occurred in a bathroom rekindled in the food court.
In Dearborn, Cameron Watkins and Keonte Seaborn, both 19 and of Detroit, were killed on July 3 at Fairlane Town Center after a July 3 altercation involving three others.
Keianna Hundley, Keonte’s mother, decried the violence that took her son just two years after he graduated from high school.
“Seeing him walk across the stage with a big smile meant everything to me,” Hundley said. “I don’t wish the pain I feel on any parent.”
Great Lakes Crossing mall shooting Saturday
Auburn Hills police said they were patrolling Great Lakes Crossing Outlets at about 5:20 p.m. when they received reports of shots fired in the food court.
A 22-year-old Detroit man and a 20-year-old Pontiac man had an altercation inside the food court restroom at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets earlier. After 5 p.m. Saturday, the Pontiac man, then with another individual, saw and attacked the Detroit man, who had a license to carry a concealed weapon.
The Detroit man fired on the Pontiac man, killing him and wounding a 19-year-old woman who was not identified, according to Auburn Hills police. The Detroit man was taken into custody and was cooperating with authorities but has not been identified by police.
The shooting sent shoppers scurrying for the exits and the mall was closed for the remainder of the day.

Police update on fatal shooting at Fairlane Mall in Dearborn
Police update on fatal shooting at Fairlane Mall in Dearborn on Friday afternoon, July 3, 2026.
Early in the afternoon of July 3, several young adults were involved in an altercation at the mall.
Prosecutors determined that Watkins and Seaborn both produced weapons.
Watkins shot Seaborn with the weapon he took from the purse of another person linked to the shooting, Cania Cain, and then continued to “shoot recklessly in the public mall,” officials said. A fourth person, Martinez Long, 19, then shot Watkins, prosecutors allege. Long was arraigned Tuesday in Dearborn’s 19th District Court on one count of carrying a concealed weapon.
Watkins’ death was determined to be a shooting in self defense and no charges were authorized for the homicide
The chaos sent shoppers running for the exits, and one person was struck by a vehicle during the scramble to flee, Police Chief Issa Shahin said.
“Senseless gun violence continues to plague communities across the country,” Shahin said earlier this week. “We are saddened by this entirely preventable tragedy but have to reiterate: We will expend all resources to keep our city safe and hold individuals responsible for dangerous behavior.”

DETROIT (AP) — Cristopher Sánchez struck out seven in seven innings, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto doubled and the Philadelphia Phillies ended the Detroit Tigers’ six-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Saturday night.
The Phillies are 45-25 since snapping a 10-game losing streak April 25 and have the second-highest winning percentage in that span.
Sánchez (11-4) allowed two runs on 10 hits, bouncing back from a career-worst outing against Kansas City. Jonathan Bowlan threw a hitless eighth, and Jhoan Duran had a 1-2-3 ninth for his 24th save.
Trea Turner’s sacrifice fly got the Phillies on the board in the third inning. Derek Hill prevented Zach McKinstry from driving in the tying run with a spectacular diving catch.
Realmuto had a two-run double in the fourth to extend the lead.
The Tigers got one back on Eduardo Valencia’s solo homer in the fifth.
Casey Mize (4-6) worked 5 2/3 innings for Detroit.
Up next
Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (9-1, 2.28 ERA) was set to face Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal (5-4, 3.06) on Sunday.
A woman died, and a person is in custody, in the aftermath of a two-vehicle crash on Friday evening in Detroit.
An emergency call was placed at 7:39 p.m., reporting the crash at Collingwood and Belleterre streets. The Detroit Police Department said one of the drivers was traveling at a high rate of speed on Collingwood and disregarded a stop sign at the intersection, striking the other vehicle.
The crash killed a woman who is in her 40s and injured a man who is also in his 40s. A medical condition was not available for the injured man.
The Detroit Police Department said a suspect is in custody and they are continuing to investigate.
