“It’s his decision,” Alex DeBrincat said after the Red Wings downed Chicago 4-1. “We’re happy with the guys who are here and we’re confident in our group here.
So we’re ready to move forward and keep getting wins.” Despite a summer of turmoil that include Larkin’s trade request and Simon Edvinsson remaining unsigned, the Red Wings are 5-1-3 in their last nine games. They are one point out of a playoff spot.
“I think we want this to be a proud organization,” DeBrincat added, “and we want players to be here and want to be here long-term.” Overcoming months of adversity has become a rallying cry for this group. The Red Wings’ next game is Saturday against the St. Louis Blues.
