The Detroit Red Wings are taking advantage of having access to the COVID-19 vaccine. The pandemic ripped through the locker room on opening weekend, forcing five players into quarantine. One spent training camp dealing with it — and that’s left him leaning toward postponing getting the vaccine until after the season ends. The majority of

Raleigh — More than two months later, Petr Mrazek still has his edge.

One save can make a difference in a game, and that was the case in Sunday’s 5-1 Red Wings’ victory over the Lightning. The Wings were leading 1-0 midway in the second period when goaltender Thomas Greiss turned aside Tampa star Steven Stamkos on a three-on-one Lightning rush. Several minutes later, Valtteri Filppula scored and began
