6 months agoDetroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider has signed a seven-year extension worth nearly $60 million. Seider, who was a restricted free agent, will carry a cap hit of $8.55 million going forward. The German blue-liner entered the league with a bang and won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie in 2021-22 with a 50-point effort. He has posted 42 points in each of the last two campaigns. In 2023-24, Seider produced nine goals and 33 assists while racking up 213 blocks and 211 hits. Seider's durability -- he has yet to miss a game in his NHL career -- and two-way ability make him a very valuable asset in fantasy hockey.

12 months agoDetroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider is still expected to play on Tuesday against the visiting Washington Capitals despite dealing with the flu, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. The German blueliner has yet to miss a game in his nearly three-year NHL career, appearing in 241 consecutive contests to begin his career. Under normal circumstances, perhaps Seider would take a breather but Tuesday's game carries massive playoff implications. The Red Wings sit just a single point ahead of the Capitals for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. They are also tied with the Penguins with 83 points but have a game in hand while they sit one point ahead of the Flyers while once again sporting a game in hand.

1 year agoDetroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider will suit up for Thursday's contest versus the visiting New York Islanders. Seider was banged up after blocking five shots in an 8-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday but head coach Derek Lalonde said his rugged blueliner is indeed good to go. The German blueliner is having another nice offensive season with seven goals and 32 points across 59 games. He has added a whopping 132 hits and 145 blocked shots on the campaign, the latter of which ranks him eighth in the league. Seider's next goal will set a new career-high as he also recorded seven tallies in his 2021-22 rookie campaign. The Red Wings have won six straight games entering Thursday's action.

1 year agoDetroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider had two assists in Friday's entertaining 7-6 shootout victory over Philadelphia. The Red Wings blew a 5-1 lead but were able to secure the extra point after Seider and Jeff Petry set up Dylan Larkin for the game-tying goal 4:30 from the end of regulation. Seider also had a hand in the team's third goal, which Daniel Sprong scored on the power play. The German blue-liner has struggled lately, along with the team, but he's had a good campaign in general. In 33 outings, Seider has produced five goals and 21 points while racking up 61 hits and 75 blocks.
