The Detroit Red Wings face a pivotal game against the Montreal Canadiens this evening (7 PM EST start on FanDuel SportsNet Detroit/TSN5/RDS2/97.1 FM).
The Red Wings sit 5 points behind the Canadiens in the Eastern Conference standings, and while the Habs aren’t holding a morning skate, they may not need to do so given that they’re 7-2-and-1 over the course of their past 10 games.
The Red Wings hit the ice at Little Caesars Arena just before 10:30 AM for their morning skate, and MLive’s Ansar Khan reports that two injured players preceded the main group:

The team’s also going back to Cam Talbot after Alex Lyon’s two-game stint in goal:

No Patrick Kane at this morning’s Red Wings skate. Jeff Petry and Tyler Motte (in a bubble) are taking part, though both looked like extras
