The Detroit Red Wings have announced their theme nights and giveaways for the 2026-27 season, highlighted by a bobblehead series to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Red Wings’ 2002 Stanley Cup championship.
The bobbleheads will feature Red Wings legends Sergei Fedorov, Nicklas Lidstrom and Scotty Bowman. Lidstrom was the Conn Smythe winner as the MVP of that Stanley Cup Final series against the Carolina Hurricanes. Fedorov had five points in the five-game series. Bowman, meanwhile, immediately retired after the series having captured an NHL-record ninth Cup.
