Kulfan answers 20 Red Wings-related questions

The Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan asks and answers “20 Questions” regarding the Detroit Red Wings and their 2020-2021 campaign via a feature article available to Detroit News subscribers:

When will the Red Wings begin the season? Let’s get some of this particular housekeeping out of the way first.

The way negotiations are proceeding between the NHL and its players association, having a Jan. 1 start (as was planned), looks unlikely.

Expect a Jan. 15 start, or somewhere around there, with training camp starting a couple of weeks before then.

Will they get extra training camp time? The Wings, and six other teams that didn’t qualify for the NHL’s “return to play,” haven’t been on the ice together since March.

They’ve requested some more time before training camp, and likely will get an extra week or so to get reacclimated.
