The Detroit Red Wings held an optional morning skate ahead of tonight’s game against Utah HC (7 PM EST start on FanDuel SportsNet Detroit/Utah16/97.1 FM), but the morning skate revealed that Alex Lyon will start for Detroit, and that Carter Mazur was in attendance.
Mazur was a very popular figure with the Wings’ media corps after the morning skate, and coach Todd McLellan confirmed both that Mazur will make his NHL debut this evening, and that Michael Rasmussen will return from his “upper-body injury.”
So Mazur and coach McLellan were the subjects of the Red Wings’ morning skate video:

There’s also this from Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen:
Coach Todd McLellan’s group understands that they desperately need to take down the Utah Hockey Club in their game tonight at Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network). After tonight’s game, the Red Wings only have 20 games remaining and only seven of them are home contests.
