Red Wings prepare themselves for rare noon weekday game

Detroit — You don’t see very often, and especially on a weekday.

It’s a holiday, so there’s that, but it’s still so unusual to be playing that early.

Detroit center Robby Fabbri tries to deflect the puck past Carolina goaltender Petr Mrazek in the third period.

Athletes are creatures of habit, and try as they might, this game might throw some guys’ off-balance.

“It’s definitely different,” forward Robby Fabbri said.
