Milwaukee is at 70 points, followed by the Texas Stars at 69 and Grand Rapids at 68.

Red Wings In Case You Missed It

The Carolina Hurricanes’ three unanswered second period goals was enough to doom the Red Wings in Friday’s loss.

Jonatan Berggren has been a healthy scratch for three consecutive games. Coach Todd McLellan says he needs to steal his playing time back from a teammate.

Red Wings defensive prospect Anton Johansson, signed by Detroit this week, will be joining the Grand Rapids Griffins lineup soon.
