When the Wings take on the Chicago Blackhawks in the first game of the tournament, the top line of Taro Hirose-Joe Veleno-Filip Zadina will already have some familiarity with each other.
"They're unbelievable players, so I'm really excited to get out there," Hirose said after Friday's morning skate at Centre Ice Arena. "We're been skating together all summer and we've talked about playing together and what it would be like so it will be fun tonight to see what it'll be like."
The three are also together on one of the power-play units.
