The Red Wings’ morning skate ahead of tonight’s game between Detroit and the Minnesota Wild (8 PM EST start on FanDuel SportsNet Detroit/FanDuel SportsNet North/FanDuel SportsNet Wisconsin/97.1 FM) was incredibly busy.
The Wild found out that Joel Eriksson Ek will be sidelined for “weeks,” with Jakub Laukko rotating back into the lineup, and Detroit lost Andrew Copp for at least 4-6 months due to pectoral tendon surgery.
Lineup-wise, the Wings will bring in Christian Fischer and start Cam Talbot opposite Filip Gustavsson, per the Free Press’s Helene St. James, but we didn’t get that much news about either team’s lineup from the morning skates.
The Free Press’s St. James posted a 4:34 video of coach Todd McLellan and forward Patrick Kane speaking after the morning skate…
And the Wings posted a 6:50 clip of Simon Edvinsson and coach McLellan speaking with the media:
