Detroit Red Wings activate defenseman and former Spartan Jeff Petry off of IR
Detroit Red Wings activate defenseman and former Spartan Jeff Petry off of IR
The National Hockey League is in the heat of a playoff push, with the regular season hitting the final 12ish games of the season. For the local team in the state of Michigan, the Detroit Red Wings, are five points out of the playoffs with 13 games to go.
Jeff Petry, a former Spartan and longtime NHL defenseman, is a member of the Red Wings and has been out almost three months. After playing his last game on Jan. 2, it looks like Petry will be returning to the lineup for the last push the Red Wings will have.
After playing in just 34 games early this season, the veteran defenseman has been cleared and activated off of injured reserve by the Red Wings. It is unclear if he will be making his return in tonight's game against the Utah Hockey Club.
Petry is just 29 games away from playing 1,000 career NHL games and will start making progress towards that career milestone.

Ohio State basketball unveils new Value City Arena court design
Ohio State basketball unveils new Value City Arena court design Out with the old, in with the new. On Friday, days after teasing a new court design and reminiscing about hardwood designs of the past, the Ohio State basketball program unveiled a new, sleek look for the upcoming season and beyond. Gone are the plain wood colored floorboards with accented scarlet and gray. The new look features a main gray pallet for the base floorboard color with red accenting things on the baselines, out of bounds, and lane areas, all with a pop of pure white outlining the shapes and letters. It also appears as though the "O" or stained color of Ohio at midcourt will be replaced by "Buckeyes," which will be a first in program history. In case you didn't get a chance to view the new design, the Ohio State Hoops "X" account (formerly Twitter), unveiled the new design via a creative team post on Friday. Have a look at the past, and through to the design coming to an arena near you soon, all set to some heart-thumping music and radio calls from years before. We like it here at Buckeyes Wire. It's not a traditional look per se, but it does bring things into today with a more progressive design that other programs are going to.

Red Wings Have Pieces to Make Offer for Stars' Robertson
Detroit Red Wings may have building blocks for a trade involving Dallas Stars' Jason Robertson. Image Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman recently addressed swirling speculation around the Dallas Stars and star forward Jason Robertson. Advertisement On 32 Thoughts, he emphasized that the team is not actively shopping Robertson, who is entering the final year of his contract with two more years under team control, but is instead trying to gauge his true market value ahead of a complex summer. B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) on X B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) on X Several NHL insiders are reporting that Jason Robertson's name is on the trade market... What would you want your team to give up for J-Rob? With the 2025–26 season poised to bring a wave of free agents for Dallas like team leader in points Matt Duchene as well as captain Jamie Benn, Mikael Granlund, Cody Ceci, and Evgenii Dadonov. Advertisement The Stars must carefully balance cap space and roster talent or they could run into some serious problems which may leave a struggling Robertson on the outside. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. Friedman added that if Dallas were to entertain serious trade discussions involving Robertson, they would almost certainly seek a return that is close to what they gave up in March for Mikko Rantanen. That blockbuster Rantanen deal cost Dallas a blue chip prospect in center Logan Stankoven, two conditional first-round picks (2026 and 2028), and two third-rounders (2026 and 2027). Advertisement To envision what a Robertson trade might look like, Detroit often comes up in conversation. The Red Wings own a very deep prospect pool, with promising talents like Nate Danielson, Simon Edvinsson and the NHL-ready Marco Kasper, plus they hold four first-round picks over the next three seasons. More Red Wings: Golden Knights' Nic Hague Linked to Red Wings in Trade Rumors The assets closely resemble what Dallas has spent and could give the Detroit front office, a leg up on the rest of the pack. Still, the narrative edges toward the Stars keeping Robertson. The more likely scenario remains extension discussions, with Robertson's market value becoming a key component at the negotiating table. Should a trade eventually be on the table, the benchmark has been set. Dallas would be targeting a least one of the Red Wings top prospects as well as two firsts and two future thirds, which may be a enticing offer for a Detroit team that could get a 90-110 point scorer and has room to grow at 25 years old. Advertisement Robertson posted a career-best 109 points in the 2022–23 season with 46 goals and 63 assists over 82 games, establishing himself as one of the league's elite forwards. He followed it up with back-to-back 80-point campaigns over the last two seasons. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.

Tez Johnson stealing the show at Buccaneers minicamp
Tez Johnson stealing the show at Buccaneers minicamp Tez Johnson wasn't on anyone's radar when he left the Troy Trojans back in 2023. But when he landed with the Oregon Ducks, he dazzled audiences and greatly improved his draft outlook. He was selected towards the end of the draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the seventh round, but it is much better than going undrafted. Most players selected as late as Johnson struggle to even make the team's roster, but it seems the Oregon standout has a solid chance. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him with the 235th overall pick and if he played at all during his rookie season it was assumed it would be on special teams. However, head coach Todd Bowles spoke to the media following a practice session this week, offering a glowing review of Johnson. 'He could be a vital part of our offense if he continues trending the way he's trending.' Not only does Bowles think he's capable of impacting the offense, he thinks Johnson could be one of the driving forces. The Buccaneers are getting to see some of the game-breaking speed and elusiveness that electrified crowds back in Eugene, and they have clearly fallen in love.
