Tonight Detroit started their west coast swing with a game against the Flames in Calgary. It was the first of four games along the west coast over the next week, culminating next Saturday in Seattle.
Only a couple games after welcoming Vrana back to the lineup, Detroit would have to go without Robby Fabbri as it was announced he is likely to miss the rest of the season with a suspected torn ACL, the third time he’s suffered the difficult injury in his career. Also missing from Detroit’s lineup and will be for the majority of this road trip, was Tyler Bertuzzi, still unable to play in Canada due to his vaccination status.
