Five takeaways from Detroit’s first preseason game of 2021-22

It brings me great pleasure to inform you once again: Red Wings hockey is back.

Sure, it’s still the preseason. The roster we witnessed yesterday is not the Opening Night roster. In fact, the majority of the players won’t be in the NHL by Opening Night. Preseason expectations aside, there’s nothing quite like hockey after a long hiatus. This must be how bears feel after waking up from hibernation. The dawn has risen again, and with it comes the great gift of hockey.

What better way to start off the preseason than with a 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks?
