Today the Red Wings players got together for an informal “Captain’s Practice” at the Joe to start getting ready for training camp starting in 11 days. The practice had to be informal because there’s an entire CBA article dedicated to how training camp works and about how the team isn’t even allowed to hold voluntary practices right now, but there’s nothing in it about allowing informal skates, and that’s just what they did.
While Johan Franzen helped run drills, team captain Henrik Zetterberg was on hand, though not skating due to the knee injury which forced him to back out of the World Cup of Hockey for Team Sweden.
