Detroit — The talk of the Red Wings being in a rebuild sort of struck David Perron kind of funny. Perron, who signed as a free agent with the Wings last month, was on the expansion Vegas Golden Knights team that reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2018. “I find it funny to hear the word ‘rebuild,’”

Detroit — Carter Mazur was having difficulty scoring goals last season, so Mazur reached out to the Red Wings’ development staff.
