For Detroit Red Wings players under COVID protocol, return back may not be all smooth

Help isn’t expected before the middle of next week, and that’s tinged with a good deal of hope.

The Detroit Red Wings were off to a good start when they left for their first road trip of the season, but as they return home for a brief respite, it’s clear just how much they missed the players that didn’t make the trip after testing positive for COVID-19.

The list includes two-thirds of the second line in Robby Fabbri and Filip Zadina, fellow man-advantage players in forward Sam Gagner and defenseman Jon Merrill, and forward Adam Erne, a grinder and penalty killer.
