As COVID concerns mount around NHL, Red Wings try to move forward

Detroit — The Red Wings were supposed practice Sunday, prepare for rematch against an exciting Colorado Avalanche team Monday, then get ready for one more game before the NHL's holiday break.

COVID-19 had other plans, and nobody knows what to expect in the coming days.

The Avalanche were ravaged by the virus late last week, forcing a postponement of Monday's game.

On Saturday, the Wings had four players and two coaches — including head coach Jeff Blashill — placed on the protocol list. There are now six Wings players on the list, unavailable to play.
