The Detroit Red Wings will conduct their end-of-season media availability on Thursday, featuring team president Steve Yzerman and head coach Todd McLellan, following a disappointing season that saw the team miss the playoffs for the tenth consecutive year. Despite an impressive start, where they held a strong record of 32-16-5, a late-season collapse left them with a 9-13-4 record in their final 26 games, making them the first team since 1970 to miss the playoffs after achieving 69 points in their first 53 games. The press conference will address significant roster decisions, including contracts for several key players and restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson. This availability is anticipated to be one of the most scrutinized in recent franchise history as the team seeks to regroup.
