Jeff Blashill has a sports-filled weekend planned: Namely, watching his kids play lacrosse and hockey.
His seventh season as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings came to an end Friday with a 5-3 victory against the Devils. At some point soon, he is expected to meet with general manager Steve Yzerman. Yzerman can pick up the option on Blashill's contract and keep him for another season, release Blashill — or offer him a different job in the organization, perhaps as a scout.
