Jeff Blashill said the anticipation is Adam Erne (blocked shot Friday) will be available tonight at Montreal. If not, Red Wings will go 11F, 7D.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) November 2, 2021
Jeff Blashill said Gus Lindstrom has skated the past 2 days, but does not anticipate him ready for Boston. He needs to get into a couple of practices before returning. @DetroitRedWings #LGRW— Daniella Bruce (@daniellabruce_) November 2, 2021
Red Wings will be without 2/3 of their top line tonight at Montreal: Dylan Larkin (personal reasons) & Tyler Bertuzzi (unvaccinated). Bertuzzi leads Wings with 9 points/7 games; Larkin has 8 points/8 games.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) November 2, 2021
Tough sledding tonite without Larkin and Bert (grrr). This years team is not deep but screw the Ole’s.
Hope everything is well with Larkin. No Canada just makes these kind of situations tougher.
Hope Bert has a better reason than the BS that he is peddling.
