Tweets from Friday’s practice: Wings prepare for Bolts with Compher set to rejoin lineup

The Detroit Red Wings prepare for their final game before the Four Nations break, a Saturday afternoon matinee game against the Tampa Bay Lightning (1 PM EST start on ABC/Sportsnet/97.1 FM).

Again, Tampa Bay beat Ottawa 5-1 last night, so the standings look as follows this morning, with Tampa’s 29-20-and-4 record sitting 1 point ahead of the Red Wings’ 28-21-and-5 record. Tampa Bay has a game in hand on Detroit, which they will expend on Sunday vs. Montreal.

The Wings took to the ice at the BELFOR Training Center under Little Caesars Arena at 11 AM:

Looks like Lyon will start tomorrow (I’m guessing) since the drills so far have been exclusively at his end of the ice. He’s allowed only two goals in five of his last 6 starts, excluding one game he left after the first period due to an injury. pic.twitter.com/nTRzp87xvK
