#RedWings morning skate. Looks like D pairs will be:
DeKeyser-Cholowski
Daley-Sulak
Hicketts-Hronek
Jensen appears to be healthy scratch.
If that’s the case, 5 Wings will make NHL debut vs. @BlueJacketsNHL

From the Wings Press Notes: Red Wings have won 5 straight home openers and 8 of their last 9 home openers.

The Oakland Press’s Pat Caputo said, “Hello” as well…
Just so you know: All 5 of picks taken ahead of Filip Zadina made opening night rosters, although Brady Tkachuk may not play because of groin injury. Red Wings seem to be favoring vets with overvalued contracts and dismissing younger ones again.

Anthony Mantha scored 24 goals last season. He believes the 30-goal mark is realistic for him. He may get a bunch more in front of the net this year. pic.twitter.com/LJZ3dgy2oF
