Red Wings roster may be set ahead of season opener against Rangers

Summary

The Detroit Red Wings are close to finalizing their roster ahead of the regular-season opener against the New York Rangers on Friday. With forward Dylan Larkin and defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker both out due to upper-body injuries, they could be placed on injured reserve, leaving remaining players to fill the roster. Additionally, restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson is still without a contract, which affects the defense lineup. Coach Todd McLellan mentioned that the opening-night roster is subject to change, especially with potential last-minute moves before submission.
