Krupa: Blashill isn’t wilting from Wings’ early issues

Detroit — If he is feeling the pressure, it does not show.

Jeff Blashill walks into the Red Wings dressing room wearing sweatpants, a long-sleeve T-shirt tucked in, with a relaxed look of casualness on his face as he approaches a media scrum his daily briefing.

When it takes a moment for the first question asked, Blashill eases an awkward pause with an easy smile.

Any lineup changes?

“From yesterday?” he says, squinting his eyes as he examines his memory for the recollection of who is in, who is out, how the lines and defensive pairings are set, and when he last changed them.
