At some point Thursday, Wings coach Jeff Blashill planned to pull defenseman Nick Jensen aside.
Jensen, along with goaltender Jimmy Howard and forward Gustav Nyquist, is one of the players in the middle of trade rumors as Monday's 3 p.m. deadline approaches.
"I've talked to Jense a little bit but I'm going to grab Jense today and see how he's doing and just make sure from a mental state that he's focusing on what he can control and that's his play," Blashill said.
Jensen, 28, would be an inexpensive option in terms of the salary cap for a team looking to add some depth on the blueline.
