(WXYZ) — The Detroit Red Wings are finally sending No. 91 to the rafters on Monday night as the team officially retires Sergei Fedorov's jersey number.
Watch Brad Galli's video report:
In August 2025, the Red Wings announced they were retiring Fedorov's number, which had been a topic of discussion among Red Wings fans for years.
"We are honored to celebrate Sergei Fedorov and raise his #91 to its rightful place hanging in the rafters at Little Caesars Arena, among the all-time greats who have worn the Winged Wheel,” said Chris Ilitch in the announcement.
The celebration on Monday will feature several NHL legends, special concourse activations, in-arena tributes and multiple fan engagement opportunities.
