After removing three players and two coaches from COVID protocols, the Red Wings practiced at Little Caesars Arena’s Belfor Training Center with what The Athletic’s Max Bultman reported were 15 total skaters.
At present, they’re still scheduled to play against the New York Islanders on the road Wednesday, to host the Washington Capitals on New Year’s Eve, and to continue a game-every-other-night schedule until January 8th.
After practice, the Wings spoke with the media via Zoom calls:
