DETROIT – Methodically, Luke Glendening moved parallel with the Red Wings’ bench skating in and out of those half his size.
The Wings’ center was up to no good, which was clear to some who watched him.
As the group of young, inexperienced skaters lined up for a series of puck-handling drills, the 26-year-old Michigan native mischievously sought a victim for his on-ice shenanigans.
It wasn’t long before Glendening identified his target and moved in from the flank. In one fluid motion – using the blade of his right-handed stick as a shovel – he scooped snow from along the boards and dumped the icy shavings down the inside of the youngster’s shoulder pads.
