The Traverse City Record-Eagle’s Jordan Puente filed a final report from Red Wings training camp this evening:
On the ice, Lalonde saw his players continue to improve since the sold-out Red and White game on Sunday.
“In our Red and White game yesterday, you could see more organization in our structure. I know it’s a small thing, but the guys looked like they were on the same page,” Lalonde said. “It’s still a huge work in progress with a lot of mistakes to clean up.”
Many players entered Monday without a clear decision on whether they made the team or not, but Lalonde is using the eight preseason games to give players plenty of opportunities to make a name for themselves.
“Everyone is going to get plenty of game time, some more than others, obviously there is a purpose for that,” he said. “Gives them a chance to find their identity and how they can fit into the bigger picture.”
