Through eight exhibition games, the Detroit Red Wings looked like they’ll have the depth to be competitive. Only so much can be read into the 3-1 loss in Saturday’s finale at Buffalo, and the Wings’ 4-4 record — no one plays with a full NHL lineup — but the past two weeks have been a time
The Red Wings didn’t end the exhibition season probably the way they wanted. The Wings ended the warm-up games Saturday with a 3-1 loss in Buffalo.

Jeff Blashill iterated the challenge for Joe Veleno, as with other young players, is to prove he’ll make the Detroit Red Wings “significantly better” to be on the roster when the season begins.
