## Resource

Detroit’s Red Wings are turning up the heat on the ice, aiming to become a tougher, more physical force starting in 2026-27. GM Steve Yzerman brought in Keegan Kolesar — a 6’2”, 217-pound hit machine with over 237 hits in five straight seasons — to inject grit into the lineup. With Kolesar joining players like Emmitt Finnie, and potential breakout stars Carter Mazur and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, the Wings could soon boast six players averaging 150+ hits per season. Even defenseman Moritz Seider could join the pack if he ramps up his physicality. This aggressive shift responds directly to fan demand and aims to close the gap on league leaders like the Rangers and Panthers — who thrive on physical play. The goal? Make the Red Wings a team opponents dread facing — a gritty, imposing force ready to dominate the next era. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
