Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill and Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock spoke with the media ahead of tonight’s game between the Red Wings and Maple Leafs.
First up, Blashill:
#RedWings Blashill said Green definitely out tonight but declined to name starting goaltender or say whether Witkowski plays again.

Although #RedWings Blashill wouldn’t say for sure, I’d think Witkowski plays again and most likely Mrazek too.

Babcock on calling women’s curling team at the Olympics:”I’m a curling fan. I reached out when they won to say good luck and then tried to follow up. You bump into those athletes and you end up talking and they try to help you and you try to help them. I wish all Canadians well.”
