Winnipeg, Manitoba — The Red Wings became a little older team Tuesday again, and coach Jeff Blashill wasn’t disappointed about that.
Getting defenseman Trevor Daley and forward Justin Abdelkader back certainly didn’t lower the average age of the team — Daley is 36 and Abdelkader 32 — but the Red Wings got two veteran players to stabilize a lineup that has been doing a lot of losing.
“Solid players that play good hockey and add to our depth as a team, for sure,” Blashill said of the contributions Daley and Abdelkader provide.
