Will Anthony Mantha return to the Red Wings’ lineup Tuesday night against Florida?
Coach Jeff Blashill wasn’t saying earlier in the day, but clearly Blashill will be expecting a certain level of performance out of Mantha when Mantha does get back into the lineup.
And it wouldn’t be surprising if Mantha does return Tuesday, given forward Luke Glendening (upper body) was declared unavailable by Blashill after the morning skate.
Mantha has caught Blashill’s wrath at various times in his young career for not moving fast enough on the ice, and Mantha was a healthy scratch in Sunday’s victory in Florida.
