Detroit — If you’re a Detroit hockey fan, and still enjoy watching the Red Wings, prepare to go into withdrawl.
For nine days, actually, there won’t be any Red Wings hockey, anyway, as the Red Wings don’t play again until Feb. 1 against Toronto.
The Wings are among 21 teams whose five-day “bye week" is on the back end of the All-Star Game — Jan. 27-31 — making for a nine-day hiatus (teams are allowed one practice, Jan. 31).
The remaining 10 teams had their “bye” this week — Jan. 20-24 — leading into the All-Star weekend and will resume games Monday.
