Detroit - Sure there were a few butterflies Saturday afternoon, looking ahead to the evening's Red Wings' game, but Daniella Bruce wasn't worried about it.
Bruce will make history Saturday evening, becoming the first woman to be on any Wings' broadcast, being Ken Kal's color analyst. Paul Woods will not be available either Saturday or Sunday because of COVID-19.
"I don't think they're the bad type, it's all about excitement and as soon as we get going, it'll be fine," said Bruce, Saturday afternoon.
Bruce was scheduled to do Thursday's game against Anaheim - only to see it rescheduled to Sunday when the Ducks had nearly half the team on COVID protocol.
