There’s a chance that forward Justin Abdelkader and defenseman Mike Green could be back as soon as Tuesday, when the Detroit Red Wings visit the Chicago Blackhawks (8:30 p.m., FSD).
“We’ll make those lineup decisions tomorrow,” Wings coach Jeff Blashill said after Abdelkader and Green skated along with teammates today at the Taylor SportsPlex. The Wings were scheduled to fly to Chicago following the practice.
“We wanted to get a practice in and make sure they’re ready to go. They both, I think, felt good. But I’ll wait until they get evaluated by the trainers, and then we’ll make that final decision.
