The much anticipated NHL regular season is finally, just a couple short weeks away. The Detroit Red Wings open their NHL preseason schedule tonight. It will be a quick turn around with another game scheduled Thursday.
The Detroit Red Wings, like many NHL teams, will use the preseason to grade their young prospects. As the Wings play the preseason out, they will start to thin the herd and get the group of players and line combinations set how they want to start the season.
Tonight Detroit will feature their top line. Dylan Larkin will skate between Anthony Mantha and Tyler Bertuzzi.
