Forward Jakub Vrana will undergo shoulder surgery and will be out for at least months after suffering a shoulder injury in training camp. Vrana’s absence is a major blow to the lineup.

Detroit — What a gut punch to begin the Red Wings’ season.

Jeff Blashill likened his Detroit Red Wings coaching staff’s approach to the exhibition slate to writing a bunch of formulas and then wondering which work.
