Red Wings shuffle lines in practice after injury to Tyler Motte
Red Wings forward Tyler Motte was hurt in last night's game against the Sharks, and coach Todd McLellan has since shuffled the lines during today's practice.
Unfortunately for the Detroit Red Wings, their season-high 7-game winning streak came to an end last night at Little Caesars Arena.
The San Jose Sharks doubled them up 6-3 thanks to a mixture of poor goaltending and defensive breakdowns, especially in the 3rd period.
However, the Red Wings also lost forward Tyler Motte during the 2nd period; he lost his edge while skating behind the San Jose net and crashed face-first into the boards.
During today's practice, the Red Wings inserted Christian Fischer on the 4th line along with Joe Veleno and Michael Rasmussen in Motte's place; Fischer hasn't played since late December.
Kasper - Larkin - Raymond
