The 2015–16 Detroit Red Wings season was the 90th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on September 25, 1926.[ 1] The regular season began on October 9, 2015, against the Toronto Maple Leafs , and former Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock , with a 4–0 victory.[ 2] This season also involved the Red Wings extending their playoff streak to 25 straight seasons.

On June 23, 2015, the Red Wings finalized their coaching staff, Tony Granato will return as an assistant coach, along with Pat Ferschweiler , who was an assistant coach under Blashill with the Grand Rapids Griffins . Dave Noel-Bernier was named video coach, and Chris Chelios will evaluate in-game player performance, and will continue to play a role in player development, by working on-ice with the team's defensemen during practices. Jim Bedard will return for his 19th season with the organization as goaltending coach.[ 4]
