'It's great to be back at it': Red Wings return to action with intrasquad scrimmage

Detroit — There was a some hockey finally Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena.

How crisp it was is debatable, the intensity was off and on, but it was fun to see nonetheless.

The Red Wings played the first of three intrasquad scrimmages — Team Red won 6-4 in a shootout (they counted shootout goals, too) — with music blaring, seats covered, and everyone simply relieved to be in a hockey environment again.

“I was just saying to one of the guys: Getting out there and getting in a game situation, and get in to game shape, it was fun,” forward Tyler Bertuzzi said.
