The Detroit Red Wings and head coach Todd McLellan debuted new powerplay lines this morning at Little Caesars arena ahead of their preseason matchup against the Buffalo Sabres.
The second powerplay unit features Andrew Copp which is quite unexpected, but it's due to the fact that newest aquisition James Van Riemsdyk has left the team to attend a family matter.
Last week, tough injury news struck the team as we received word that Simon Edvinsson may not be ready for game one of the regular season early in October, thankfully, he has returned to practice ahead of schedule and could very well be making greater progress than expected.
