Anthony Mantha does not care for fighting. What he does care about is standing up for Detroit Red Wings teammates, and himself.
Mantha was among several players who milled about Joe Louis Arena Friday morning, getting in off-ice workouts and foregoing a practice so optional that call-up Matt Lorito was the only player on the ice. The Wings wrap up their season by hosting Montreal Saturday and the Devils on Sunday in the Joe’s finale.
Mantha has been sidelined with a fractured right ring finger since fighting Tampa Bay’s Luke Witkowski March 30.
