The Red Wings are bringing back coach Jeff Blashill.
The team made the anticipated announcement official Tuesday morning at Little Caesars Arena before the morning skate, announcing Blashill has agreed to a two-year contract extension.
Blashill, 45, is in the final year of a four-year contract.
“Jeff has done a very good job considering the circumstances of a rebuild,” general manager Ken Holland said. “On a night-to-night basis, our team has been very competitive.
“When I look at the development of the young players on our team as we’ve gone through the rebuild, they’ve all improved, all gotten better.
