There were some different looks to both the lines and defense pairs when the Red Wings took to the ice Friday in practice at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
Andreas Athanasiou skated on the top line with Dylan Larkin and Justin Abdelkader; Gustav Nyquist was with Frans Nielsen and Thomas Vanek; and Tyler Bertuzzi was back with Luke Glendening and Michael Rasmussen.
"It gives him a chance to play with Larks, he hasn't done that much," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. "Double-A is a guy that if we can get playing at his highest level, he's obviously a very good player, so we're giving him that opportunity.
