The Daily: Red Wings Will Play 6 Games in 6 Days; Karlsson Update

It’s fortunate the Detroit Red Wings still have eight goaltenders on their training camp roster. They made need every one them.

The Red Wings are about to play six NHL preseason games in six days.

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ had mechanical problems with their plane, preventing them from coming to Detroit for Saturday’s scheduled game at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings have agreed to play that postponed game Monday. If you are telling youself, “Wait, the Red Wings already have a road game against Buffalo that night,” you are not suffering from a faulty memory.

The Red Wings will split their squad and play two NHL preseason games on Monday, when every Detroit sports fan will be paying attention to the Lions playing the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

They also have another game with the Penguins on Tuesday in Pittsburgh. They are off Wednesday and then play preseason games on Thursday (vs. Toronto), Friday (vs. Ottawa) and Saturday (at Toronto).

All we know for sure about lineups is that Husso is going to play two periods of one of those games. We won’t find out today about lineups because this is a scheduled day off for the Red Wings. There is no scheduled media availability.

Red Wings In Case You Missed It

Alex Chiasson is overjoyed to have a shot to resurrect his NHL career in Detroit. He is coming back from back surgery.

Coach Derek Lalonde provides answers on a variety of players and subjects, including Sebastian Cossa and the Detroit Tigers.

The Red Wings, particularly Moritz Seider, seem fully committed to becoming one of the NHL’s better defensive teams.
