What was supposed to be a typical road trip to the West Coast has taken a turn for the Red Wings.
Thursday's COVID-19 postponement in Anaheim has forced the Wings into playing three games in four nights around California.
They'll play Saturday in Los Angeles, then 21.5 hours later, they'll head south to face the Ducks in the rescheduled game. They Wings finish the trip Tuesday in San Jose.
Next week brings games at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday against Winnipeg and Saturday (Buffalo). Then another back-to-back Jan. 17-18 in Buffalo and Philadelphia.
That's a lot of hockey.
