Detroit — Madison Bowey sat through the opening two games anxiously, waiting to get in the lineup.
Now he has, but at the cost of a good friend and teammate, Trevor Daley.
“It’s obviously tough to see Dales go down, he’s a key to the back end,” Bowey said of Daly, a veteran defenseman who was injured in Sunday’s Red Wings victory. “But, for me, I’m just waiting for an opportunity, for a chance, and I’m ready to go.”
Bowey, 24, was acquired at the trade deadline in February from Washington in exchange for Nick Jensen, with draft picks going both ways.
