The Carolina Hurricanes took to the ice in Raleigh around 10:30 this morning, and while they’re decimated by COVID protocols and will dress 10 forwards and 6 defensemen, they’re starting Fredrik Andersen, who is 10-0-and-1 vs. Detroit, opposite the Red Wings this evening (7 PM EDT start on Bally Sports Detroit/Bally Sports South/97.1 FM).
We didn’t receive much in the way of roster news from the Wings’ morning skate (not even a mention as to where/whether Kyle Criscuolo, Taro Hirose or Joe Veleno will play tonight with Michael Rasmussen and Robby Fabbri in COVID protocols)…
So Blashill’s pre-game presser would reveal a little more about the Wings’ situation.
In the interim, the Canes posted their projected lineup…
Gonna need everybody #LetsGoCanes

And the Wings just posted Blashill via video:
Blashill says he will determine who’s in the lineup after the Wings’ determine who’s cleared to go testing-wise.
