Detroit – After a day off Sunday, the Red Wings had a vigorous morning skate Monday that looked more like a full-blown practice at Little Caesars Arena.
Trevor Daley, who has missed five games since Dec. 1 with a lower-body injury, participated fully.
Coach Jeff Blashill said Daley likely will return to the lineup against the Kings (7:30 p.m., FSD/97.1 FM). But the decision will be made after the pregame warmup.
The Kings, with an 11-18-1 mark and 4-8 on the road, have disappointed this season. The lineup seems older, big and slow in a game in which pace seems constantly quickening.
