Bobby Ryan didn’t like what he was seeing, so he moved. Relocating helped, but it still wasn’t close to where he really wants to be.
Ryan is expected to be make his Detroit Red Wings debut on Saturday when they host the Carolina Hurricanes, two days after being shutout by the Canes in the season opener.
A free agent signing by general manager Steve Yzerman, Ryan hasn’t played since March 11, and took notice Thursday as he watched his new team's first game in 310 days. Ryan missed that game because of an injury suffered during the first week of training camp.
