TORONTO — The Detroit Red Wings held an optional workout at the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Ford Performance Center on Thursday afternoon, with the players participating using the on-ice session to get some shooting drills in and get their legs under them after the 4-1 win on Wednesday. about the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center.
“Some things need to be cleaned up,” Michael Rasmussen said of Detroit’s most recent game. “I turned the puck over a little too much, but there were definitely positives. We generated a lot off the rush and didn’t give (the Blackhawks) too many crazy looks. It was a good win.”
Joe Veleno said Thursday’s skate was beneficial for him, especially as he looks ahead to the club’s busy weekend.
After facing the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Friday, the Red Wings travel back to Detroit on Saturday to host the New York Rangers at Little Caesars Arena.
“It always feels good to get on the ice,” Veleno said. “Feeling like you can get better every day. It doesn’t have to be anything difficult or demanding on the body, but just a little pressure every now and then will feel good. Getting some confidence, shooting, getting little reps and just working on your game.
