The Red Wings roll on. They take down the Oilers in Edmonton, 3-2 after a shootout. A damn good win (especially after trailing 2-0) and a heck of a way to start out a 4-game road trip. Detroit’s got something going here

Compher and Kane out tonight, day to day, Tarasenko not feeling well (questionable). McLellan said there are some guys on standby if they need a call up. But Motte is good to go, as is Rasmussen.

Edvinsson unavailable through the weekend for sure, Lalonde said. Doesn’t sound likely for Monday either. But sounds like it’s not long-term.

Team USA’s final World Juniors cuts: EJ Emery (NYR) Blake Fiddler (2025) Chris Pelosi (BOS) AJ Spellacy (CHI) A little surprised by Emery (who has defended at a very high level for them) and Spellacy but both are 18-year-olds who will be a big part of the 2026 team in Minnesota.
