Video: Justin Holl and Derek Lalonde address the media after Sunday’s optional practice

The Red Wings held an optional practice on Sunday, ahead of a home-and-home series with the New York Rangers on Monday and Thursday.

After practice, coach Lalonde told the media that Christian Fischer is out on Monday, and that the Wings may have to waive a veteran in order to bring up a forward to replace Fischer, presuming that the team doesn’t go with 11 forwards and 7 D on Monday. He also declined to name a starting goaltender for Monday night’s game.

Jeff Petry is also still out with his “upper-body injury.”

Here are coach Lalonde and Justin Holl speaking with the media, per the Red Wings:
