Multiple notable changes to Red Wings lines during practice

The Detroit Red Wings are fresh off a 3-game home sweep in which they picked up wins over the divisional foes Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning followed by another win over the Los Angeles Kings.

They are now preparing for a critical 4-game road trip that will take them through Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle.

The good news for the Red Wings is that a handful of players who had been absent of late have since returned to practice.

Patrick Kane, who has missed the last several games with an upper-body injury that he suffered in last week's loss to the Dallas Stars, has returned to practice along with Vladimir Tarasenko, who missed the last handful of games due to an illness.

Per Ansar Khan of MLive, the Red Wings skated with the following combinations during today's practice :

Kasper-Larkin-Raymond

DeBrincat-Copp-Kane

Soderblom-Rasmussen-Fischer

Tarasenko/Berggren/Veleno/Motte/Shine all appear to be rotating on that line.

Chiarot-Seider
Edvinsson-Johansson
Gustafsson-Holl
Lagesson

Forward Dominik Shine, who made his NHL debut Monday against the Kings, appears set to join the Red Wings on their upcoming road trip.

Meanwhile, injured defenseman Jeff Petry, who has been getting closer to a return to game action, did not participate in today's practice.

The Red Wings' road trip begins with tomorrow night's matchup against the Oilers, who recently welcomed Connor McDavid back into their lineup after a 3-game suspension.
