Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Canadiens Team News
Detroit Red Wings Team News
The Detroit Red Wings are getting ready for their next game against the Montreal Canadiens, but some important players are injured.
Andrew Copp is currently listed as day-to-day because of a cheek injury, and Michael Rasmussen is also listed as day-to-day because of an issue with his upper body.
The team is having trouble keeping up with the rest of the league because these guys aren't on the field, and will need to rely on depth and adaptability to fill the holes in their lineup because Copp's versatility and Rasmussen's physical presence will be missed on the ice.
Montreal Canadiens Team News
As the Montreal Canadiens get ready for their next game against the Red Wings, they are also dealing with a lot of injuries.
Joshua Roy is still out with an upper-body injury, and Kaiden Guhle is also described as day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Kirby Dach and Arber Xhekaj will also not be able to play for the rest of the season because they hurt their knees and shoulders, respectively.
The team faces a serious setback in the form of these key players' absence, which forces them to rethink their approach and depend more on depth players to fill in.
