HCDE: “Z not very happy with me right now. … Zegras will not play tonight. He’ll practice tomorrow and be ready for the next one.”

The good news for Zegras is he’s out of protocol at least.
Dallas Eakins says John Gibson tested Covid positive this morning. Stolarz will start as of now while we wait for update re testing.

Keys to the Game
This one is going to be about starting on time for the Red Wings. The California road trip will be a test of a team that hasn’t been very good on the road this year and the late start for us is also a late start for them. How the Wings come out prepared is going to dictate a lot about whether they’re able to control the pace and make sure that special teams isn’t their undoing.
