Update: I thought the D pairs were a little funky on the handedness, and that instinct was right. Detroit’s now running the following pairs:

Chiarot Seider
Viro Didier
Lagesson Rafferty
Wallinder Tuomisto

I find it bemusing that we’re getting different lines from every beat writer. It appears that the Wings’ coaches are changing lines on the fly to see which combinations work best.

Presser quote update:

When asked how the offense can help reduce the goals against this year, Andrew Copp give a few answers:
1. managing the puck
2. being disciplined (taking less penalties)
3. being responsible in their own zone #LGRW

Copp said it seems that with everyone who went out (in FA), someone was brought in with a similar skill set. Makes it easier to adapt with a handful of new players #LGRW

When asked if his confidence/comfortability has grown since last year, Nate Danielson says yes, he has “comfort with the system and knowing a lot of the guys and staff… definitely feels a little bit more comfortable this year.” #LGRW
