DETROIT — Steve Yzerman was asked on Monday to evaluate Jeff Blashill.
The Red Wings general manager said they'll "sit down at some point," but added it was not the time to discuss his coaching staff.
"This has been an up and down year for us. We've had a lot of progress. The last six weeks of the season have been disappointing for all of us," Yzerman said.

The Red Wings are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games, and just snapped a six-game losing streak with their win last Thursday. After a strong start to the season, they've only had back-to-back wins twice since the calendar turned to 2022.
Blashill is in his seventh season as head coach of the Red Wings, a tenure that began in 2015-16. His first season was the last time Detroit made the postseason, as he's guided a rebuild project each of the proceeding six seasons.
