Red Wings News

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard practices with team, hopes to return to action Feb. 11 in Pittsburgh | MLive.com
A healthy Howard would be a great addition to this team. Mrazek has been alright at best, and having Howard back will make a considerable difference.

If the Wings still want a right-shooting d-man, Franson, Petry and Green are probably available | ProHockeyTalk
Mike Green would be a really good target, but I am not sure that the Capitals would be willing to let him go since they are currently holding a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

World Cup of Hockey 2016: Projecting Sweden’s roster | The Hockey News
Niklas Kronwall, Gustav Nyquist and Henrik Zetterberg are all locks to make the team. Johan Franzen and Jonathan Ericsson also have very good chances of making the team, especially Franzen. He is very popular in Sweden and is liked by the coaches. Also, I would not rule out Jonas Gustavsson. After Henrik Lundqvist Sweden’s goaltending is very average.
