PHILADELPHIA -- Playing their eighth game in 13 days, the Detroit Red Wings will continue a busy December slate as they face the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.
“You try to manage it and ask a little bit of everyone,” head coach Derek Lalonde said about the Red Wings’ current schedule. “I thought (Friday) was a very productive, paced practice. We’ve been planning for this all along. Everyone has these stretches in their schedule. Unfortunately, it came at a time where we had some bodies out and probably a little compounded on the Europe trip.”
Puck drop between Detroit (15-10-4; 34 points) and Philadelphia (16-10-3; 35 points) is set for 7 p.m., with broadcast coverage on Bally Sports Detroit Extra. Ken Kal and Paul Woods will have the call on the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit).
