Todd Bertuzzi and Jiri Hudler both missed practice today, increasing speculation on if they will be in the lineup for the Detroit Red Wings against the Colorado Avalanche tomorrow night. Both are "sick" and Fabian Brunnstrom has stayed with the team, basically carving out his spot in the game tomorrow.

I expect that Gustav Nyquist will be called up and given the chance he deserves to play second line minutes.

Having Bertuzzi and Hudler out is a blessing in disguise for the Red Wings. Both have been non-factors and have slowed the Wings down. Bertuzzi is obviously getting older and he's showing it. Hudler is probably never going to be like he used to circa 2009, b...

Commodore will replace Ruslan Salei's spot in the rotation with Jakub Kindl. White is a welcomed addition as he has a right handed shot (like Rafalski) and is relatively young. 

I like the White signing, and while Commodore is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, he has a history with Mike Babcock, which I am sure will get resolved quickly.

Detroit also signed Jonathan Ericsson to a monster deal, which I don't even want to talk about because I'm ...
