Libor Sulak thought of his family as he prepared to make his NHL debut.

The defenseman was to be part of Thursday’s season opener for the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena, one of five rookies on the roster. The Wings see Sulak as someone who can make them better because of how fast he can skate, an asset he showed off repeatedly during preseason.
