I know “optional skate” isn’t what a lot of folks want to hear right now considering how the team has been playing - I think the Red Wings know that too because they made sure to go out of their way to point out that yesterday’s practice was “high intensity” and featured battle drills. We’ll see how that plays out (J.J.)
Based on Red Wings morning skate at Madison Square Garden, Dylan McIlrath subs in for Alex Biega tonight.
