Traverse City – The Red Wings haven’t had, in recent seasons, a fourth line that can be annoying, feisty, and just plain difficult to play against.
But that might be changing this season thanks to Steve Ott, who signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Wings as an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
The line of Ott, Luke Glendening and Drew Miller provides various strengths that could make them quite formidable.
“We’re not going to be fun to play against,” Ott said. “I really think we have a complete line to be able to shut other lines down, play a lot of defensive zone situations with two face-off guys who can play either side.
