The Detroit Red Wings are taking advantage of having access to the COVID-19 vaccine.
The pandemic ripped through the locker room on opening weekend, forcing five players into quarantine. One spent training camp dealing with it — and that’s left him leaning toward postponing getting the vaccine until after the season ends.
The majority of Wings players, the coaching staff and other staff within the so-called team bubble have been vaccinated, including head coach Jeff Blashill.
“I have empathy for anybody around the world that doesn’t have access to it,” Blashill said Tuesday.
