The Detroit Red Wings will attempt to rebound from Thursday’s 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers when the Wings head to Nashville to battle the 0-and-4 Predators tomorrow afternoon (2 PM EDT start on Bally Sports Detroit).
The Red Wings will then head to Long Island to play Patrick Roy’s Islanders on Tuesday before coming home to play the Devils next Thursday, and heading to Buffalo to battle the Sabres next Saturday(and then host the Oilers in a back-to-back weekend), all before ending October with a home game against the Jets.
As far as the Predators are concerned, Nashville’s most recent loss came at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers, who defeated the Preds 4-2 on Thursday evening in Nashville. Nashville is 0-and-3 at home this season, and they host the Bruins after Detroit comes to town.
While Ville Husso warmed up for tonight’s Griffins-Moose game (to be streamed on FloHockey.tv) in Grand Rapids…

And while Marco Kasper was recalled under emergency conditions (which means that the Red Wings can’t dress 12 forwards), you may take this for what you will:
Happy Friday: Red Wings recall 2022 first-rounder Marco Kasper! Lalonde said earlier this week this would only be the case for a longer-term call up.

The Red Wings hit the ice at Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center just before noon EDT, and the Wings did so short a couple of forwards:

Seider and Edvinsson getting the majority of reps together, so maybe that’s a pair tomorrow. https://t.co/G3Aj9L8KGz
