The 2010–11 Detroit Red Wings season was the 85th season of play for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on September 25, 1926, and saw the Red Wings equal the 1966 to 1985 Dallas Cowboys in second place for the most consecutive winning seasons in major North American professional sports.
The 2010 Detroit Red Wings off-season saw the acquisitions of Joey MacDonald from the Anaheim Ducks and Mike Modano from the Dallas Stars. In the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, the Red Wings picked Riley Sheahan out of the University of Notre Dame for their first round pick. The Red Wings looked to improve off of their 44–24–14 record in the 2009–10 season and make the Stanley Cup playoffs for the 20th consecutive season.
On January 18, Nicklas Lidstrom was voted by the players to represent one of the teams as captain during the 2011 NHL All-Star Game.
