PREVIEW: Red Wings open Western Canada leg of four-game road trip in Edmonton on Thursday

The Red Wings practiced at Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center on Wednesday morning before departing for Edmonton. Patrick Kane (upper body) and Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) both participated, but J.T. Compher (upper body) and Jeff Petry (undisclosed) did not.

Per McLellan, he doesn’t expect Kane to play on Thursday but expects Tarasenko to return to the lineup. Compher will travel with the team on this road trip, while Petry will not.

Tied with the Vegas Golden Knights for first in the Western Conference’s Pacific Division at 67 points apiece, the Oilers most recently defeated the Kraken, 4-2, on Monday.

Captain Connor McDavid, who scored a goal in his return from a three-game suspension on Monday, leads the defending Western Conference champions in assists (45) and is second in goals (21) and points (66) behind Leon Draisaitl (35-40—75) this season. In 33 games, netminder Stuart Skinner has a 19-11-3 record with a 2.69 goals-against average and a pair of shutouts.

“I had the luxury of coaching them,” McLellan said about McDavid and Draisaitl. “The two of them are elite separately and super elite together. They play a completely different game. One is fast, one slows it down with passing and vision.”

Seider said the best way to defend against Edmonton’s star power is to do so as a five-man unit.

“Really focusing on keeping them to the outside, eliminating chances from the inner slot and try to eliminate extended D-zone shifts,” Seider said. “I think the more we have the puck, the better we’ll be and the more offense we’ll play.”

The Detroit Red Wings are set to kick off the Western Canada leg of their four-game road trip as they face off against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. After a tough loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Red Wings will be looking to bounce back and secure a much-needed win.

Edmonton has been playing well as of late, with star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the way. The Red Wings will need to bring their A-game if they hope to come out on top against this tough opponent.

Stay tuned for updates and highlights from the game as the Red Wings look to make a statement in Edmonton. Let’s go Red Wings! #LGRW #DetroitRedWings #NHL #EdmontonOilers #WesternCanadaTrip

PREVIEW: Red Wings face off against Flyers in four-game road trip finale on Tuesday
“On this trip, we’ve been able to beat the Stanley Cup champs but the two other teams, in a weight class that’s maybe a little more elevated than ours, we haven’t had success,” McLellan said. “So that’s a little disappointing. We’ve had to fix some things. Do it via video, a little bit on ice and challenge a few players. Now, we’ll see what happens here tonight.”

One player that will be embracing the challenge on Tuesday is Elmer Sodberlom, who the Red Wings recalled from the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins prior to morning skate at Wells Fargo Center.

According to McLellan, Soderblom “has earned the right to come up here.”

“The last two to three weeks, really starting to come into his own and we’re hoping he can do that here,” McLellan said about Soderblom. “Obviously, a different league but he’s experienced it before. Hoping that he provides a little injection of life into the group, too. I think that will come out as the game goes on.”

Soderblom, who has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 38 games for Grand Rapids this season, said he’s going to try to make the most of his time back with the Red Wings.

“It’s very, very fun to hear that you’re getting called up,” Soderblom said. “I’m just excited to play.”

The Detroit Red Wings will be facing off against the Philadelphia Flyers in the final game of their four-game road trip on Tuesday night. The Red Wings have had a tough stretch on the road, but they will be looking to end it on a high note with a win over the Flyers.

The Flyers, on the other hand, have been playing well lately and will be looking to continue their winning ways against the struggling Red Wings. This game will be a test for both teams as they look to secure a crucial two points in the standings.

Key players to watch in this matchup include Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin, who leads the team in points, and Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov, who has been a standout on the blue line for Philadelphia.

It should be an exciting game as both teams battle it out on the ice. Be sure to tune in on Tuesday night to see who comes out on top in this matchup between the Red Wings and Flyers.

PREVIEW: Red Wings continue four-game homestand with matchup against Capitals on Sunday

McLellan also talked about how Saturday felt a little like the start of an NHL Training Camp.

“The Red Wings have their video staff, and we’re trying to blend stuff together,” McLellan said. “The amount of time it takes to flip stuff around, the video coaches did an unreal job today, in a stressful situation, just to get us ready for a meeting. You don’t have that when you’re planning for Training Camp because you’ve got six months—three months, probably—to get prepared, and we had three hours. But the on-ice part of it was good. We targeted two areas that we thought we needed to work on. The group was attentive, they asked good questions. Usually, that’s a good sign.”

Goalie Cam Talbot, who has McLellan as his bench boss for the third time of his NHL career, said the 57-year-old’s message to the Red Wings ahead of Saturday’s on-ice session was to “come out and work.”

“That’s what we’re all going to do from here on out,” Talbot said. “We’re going to learn as we go. It’s not easy when you change coaches midseason. You can’t change everything all at once. There’s a process to it, and I think that was the message. We’re going to work on things every practice and continue to build, and as we’re building we’re going to learn and get better.”

The Detroit Red Wings are set to take on the Washington Capitals in an exciting matchup on Sunday as they continue their four-game homestand at Little Caesars Arena.

The Red Wings are coming off a tough 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night, but they’ll be looking to bounce back against the Capitals. Detroit will need to tighten up defensively and capitalize on their scoring chances in order to come out on top against a tough Washington team.

The Capitals, led by superstar Alex Ovechkin, have been playing some solid hockey as of late and currently sit near the top of the standings in the Metropolitan Division. The Red Wings will need to bring their A-game if they hope to secure a win against this talented Washington squad.

Be sure to tune in on Sunday to see all the action as the Red Wings look to defend their home ice against the Capitals. It’s sure to be a thrilling game that you won’t want to miss!

Josh Giddey Set to Return After Four-Game Absence
The Chicago Bulls will welcome back their lead guard on Saturday night.

According to Billy Donovan, and confirmed by the official injury report, Josh Giddey will return to the floor against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old missed the previous four games with an ankle sprain that he suffered against the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 16.

The Bulls sure feel like they dodged a bullet with Giddey’s prognosis. The initial injury, which he suffered while closing out on a shooter in the corner, looked pretty severe. Giddey was on the ground in clear pain before the medical staff had to help him back to the locker room. Nonetheless, he told reporters he was hoping to return after only a two-game absence, but the Bulls appeared to have a more cautious approach and sat him against Milwaukee and Atlanta earlier this week.

The question now is whether or not Giddey can pick up where he left off. The guard had played some of his best basketball before suffering the injury, averaging 12.1 points, 7.7 assists, and 6.7 rebounds on a much-improved 53.0 percent shooting in his previous 12 games. Even better, he was showing considerably more effort on the defensive side of the ball, recording 13 total steals in his last seven contests.

For both parties’ sake, let’s hope Giddey can continue to show strides in both his efficiency and defensive focus. His restricted free agency will be here sooner than we know it, and the Bulls need as many healthy games as possible to evaluate his future with the franchise.

Matas Buzelis and Lonzo Ball will also make their returns on Saturday night. Buzelis missed the Bulls’ previous game against the Hawks, while Ball had sat out the last two.

After missing the last four games due to a lower leg injury, Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Josh Giddey is set to make his return to the court. The 19-year-old Australian sensation has been turning heads in his debut season, averaging 11.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game.

Giddey’s absence has been felt by the Thunder, who have gone 1-3 in his absence. His playmaking ability and basketball IQ have been sorely missed, but his return is sure to provide a much-needed boost to the team.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see Giddey back in action and continue his impressive rookie campaign. Stay tuned for his return and see how he can help lead the Thunder to victory.
