The Detroit Red Wings are set to drop the puck on their 2024-25 season Thursday evening, when they play host to the Pittsburgh Penguins at Little Caesars Arena. But with the Detroit Tigers hosting a postseason tilt against the Cleveland Guardians that same day, puck drop for the Red Wings is set to be delayed.
Rather than get their season opener underway at the scheduled 7:00 p.m. ET start time, the Red Wings will push puck drop back by an hour to 8:00 in order for traffic to clear between Little Caesars Arena and Comerica Park.
