The Detroit Red Wings will begin a slate of four games to be played over the course of pre-Christmas nights when they host the 14-13-and-4 Philadelphia Flyers tomorrow at Little Caesars Arena.
Detroit will play the Flyers, get a day off, then play a home-and-home series with the Montreal Canadiens on Friday and Saturday, and host the St. Louis Blues this upcoming Monday, all before taking a 3-day Christmas break. They’ll conclude December with 3 home games vs. Toronto, Washington and Pittsburgh.
After yesterday’s news that Alex Lyon is expected to start Wednesday, that Cam Talbot may return for Friday’s game vs. Montreal, and that Dylan Larkin (maintenance) and Marco Kasper were expected to play on Wednesday, the Wings were anxious to see what happened as they took to the ice at the BELFOR Training Center under LCA.
MLive’s Ansar Khan reported good news from today’s practice:
