Thanks to the addition of the Kraft Hockeyville exhibition, the Red Wings are four games into their preseason slate and less than halfway done. Still, I think we’re far enough along to start making the kind of guesses that should only change with big surprises or disappointing injuries.
The Wings beat a Penguins preseason road squad in OT on Sunday to improve to 2-2 in early rehearsal time. With the comportment of the club, I wouldn’t expect a full dress-rehearsal just yet as there are plenty of guys looking for opportunities to prove themselves and a number of guys playing just to get warmed up for spots they already know they own (like Larkin).
