Detroit — The Red Wings returned to work Sunday, but an extended holiday break didn't help them in the fight against COVID.
The Wings placed forward Lucas Raymond and defenseman Nick Leddy in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
Seeing Raymond and Leddy join protocol negated some of the good news — forwards Robby Fabbri and Michael Rasmussen were removed from the protocol list.
The list of Wings still in protocol is long.
Head coach Jeff Blashill and assistant coach Alex Tanguay; forwards Adam Erne, Sam Gagner, Pius Suter, Joe Veleno, Carter Rowney, Givani Smith and Filip Zadina; defenseman Jordan Oesterle, goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic, and assistant video coach Jeff Weintraub.
