The Detroit Red Wings had a quiet morning skate in Boston ahead of tonight’s game vs. the Bruins (7 PM EST start on Bally Sports Detroit/NESN/Sportsnet West/Sportsnet Pacific/97.1 FM), but the Bruins are a mess.
No Brad Marchand (suspension), no coach Bruce Cassidy (COVID protocol), Jake DeBrusk wants out, Tuukka Rask wants back in…eventually, and the AHL’s Providence Bruins have “double digit” COVID cases.
The news from the Wings’ morning skate was simple: No Danny DeKeyser due to COVID protocol, per DetroitRedWings.com’s Daniella Bruce.
Coach Blashill spoke with the media after the Wings’ skate:
Meanwhile, on the Bruins’ side of the ice, GM Don Sweeney spoke with the media…
Joe Sacco takes over primary coaching duties with Bruce Cassidy out. https://t.co/8wfNkP4fml— Logan Mullen (@ByLoganMullen) November 30, 2021
Sweeney says calling up players from Providence is not an option right now due to their COVID outbreak.— Scott McLaughlin (@smclaughlin9) November 30, 2021
Sweeney confirms DeBrusk asked for a trade. Has to play with Marchand, Blidh out. Also, Providence is on COVID lockdown, so now callups available.— Matt Porter (@mattyports) November 30, 2021
