Griffins Roll as Wings Search | 7 Minute Wings

The Detroit Red Wings and Grand Rapids Griffins continue to tell two very different stories as the calendar turns to 2026.
Detroit dropped back-to-back games against the Pittsburgh Penguins, with both contests starting tight before slipping away. The second game was never truly in reach, putting the Red Wings in a difficult position as they walk a fine line in the standings. With a nine-year playoff drought looming over the organization, Detroit needs wins quickly to avoid another disappointing end to the season.
Meanwhile, the Grand Rapids Griffins responded in the opposite fashion, earning back-to-back wins over the Chicago Wolves. The first game of the series was a battle, but the Griffins found a way to push through and secure the win. The rematch was far more decisive, as Grand Rapids left little doubt and continued one of the most impressive runs in franchise history.
With only one regulation loss in 31 games played (along with one overtime loss and one shootout loss), the Griffins continue to make history, while the Red Wings search for consistency at the NHL level.
All of it breaks down in this episode of 7 Minute Wings.
