#RedWings Blashill said they were supposed to have a full morning skate but some guys are under the weather so they decided to have an optional so those players could rest up for tonight.
— Dana Wakiji (@Dwakiji) February 18, 2020Because it’s an optional skate, we don’t have a good idea of what the defense pairings are. But it seems like it’s Hronek out and Daley in, which is good for the tank and bad for everything else.
An unconfirmed report says that Shea Weber was so upset about the idea of Detroit beating Montreal again that he rushed back for tonight’s game.
