Tweets from Friday’s Red Wings practice: methodical split sessions continue ahead of Wings-Leafs rematch

After their 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, the Red Wings took to the ice at Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center on Media Day to prepare for Saturday’s 8th and final exhibition game.

Detroit will conclude its 8-game exhibition season by hosting Toronto on Saturday night at LCA (7 PM EDT on Bally Sports Detroit/TSN4/97.1 FM), and the 4-2-and-1 Red Wings will theoretically play a “dress rehearsal” lineup against a plucky set of Maple Leafs roster hopefuls.

Speaking of hopefuls, the Hockey News’s Sam Stockton reports that the Wings’ AHL-bound players are skating first…

First practice this morning is Griffins-centric with an NHL practice to follow. Perhaps worth noting that Simon Edvinsson isn’t on the ice now and will skate with the NHL group later, at least for one more day pic.twitter.com/FDdKJYOCcO
