Red Wings News
I’ll start with two interesting tweets from Khan:
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” lang=”en”><p>From Wings statistician Greg Innis, the team has dressed 35 players this season, the most since it used 36 in 1993-94.</p>— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) <a href=”https://twitter.com/AnsarKhanMLive/statuses/447805304265125888″>March 23, 2014</a></blockquote>

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” lang=”en”><p>Also from Innis, Wings will surpass most man-games lost to injury since stat was kept in 85-86. Team record is 346 in 03-04. They have 342.</p>— Ansar Khan (@AnsarKhanMLive) <a href=”https://twitter.com/AnsarKhanMLive/statuses/447805952268333056″>March 23, 2014</a></blockquote>
