Detroit — The Red Wings are likely to score more goals this season, but it didn’t show during Friday’s exhibition game against Washington.

Detroit — Dylan Larkin was asked a question about Elmer Soderblom and Simon Edvinsson and Larkin couldn’t resist.

Detroit − General manager Steve Yzerman mentioned before training camp began that forward Jonatan Berggren might be a young player to keep an eye on.

Traverse City − After several days of seemingly endless drills and practices and video work, the Red Wings were finally put into a game situation.
