In addition to welcoming Jakub Vrana to Friday's practice, the Detroit Red Wings were relieved to see Dylan Larkin and Filip Hronek on the ice.
Both are game-time decisions for Saturday's matinee against the Ottawa Senators — and is good news for the Wings given what happened earlier this week.
Hronek left Wednesday's game for concussion protocol after a big hit by Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Reaves. Dylan Larkin left Tuesday's game after getting hit in the right hand area by a puck.
"It was encouraging," coach Derek Lalonde said.
