The 5pm deadline has come and gone for the NHL's final rosters, and Elmer Soderblom has made the Detroit Red Wings. They now have 14 forwards, 7 defensmen and 2 goalies. But the problem remains where do waiver exempt players Veleno and Soderblom fit? With Sundqvist's health for the first game in question, will Soderblom be one and done after the first game? If they can't be everyday player they are better off in Grand Rapids. #lgrw

The Detroit Red Wings ran out a lineup full of young players and they played close with a more experienced Washington Capitals team, falling 3-2. Lot of oppurtunites off the rush for the squad, with Pontus Andreasson and Elmer Soderblom creating a lot of them .Tyler Bertuzzi and Michael Rasmussen both had 2 points in this game as well. Simon Edvinsson growing pains continue. #lgrw

During practice on Tuesday, Pius Suter centered played down the lineup centering Smith and Berggren. Is this just practice? Or a sign of things to come regarding Suter's placement? Also Derek Lalonde spoke to media regarding Copp's recovery, Zadina's opportunity and the teams heart. Finally, Matt Barzal of the New York Islanders signed an 8 year, $9.15M AAV extension. Is that what we can expect for Dylan Larkin?

The Detroit Red Wings heavily outshot and outchanced the Pittsburgh Penguins, but an inability to convert prime chances and a poor special teams gave the Penguins the edge 3-2. Tyler Bertuzzi played in his first preseason game and his top line chemistry immediately came back. Kubalik's cannon of shot can be very useful and Joe Veleno is playing much more confidently. #lgrw

The Detroit Red Wings played two more preseason games this weekend. One was a 2-0 loss to the Washington Capitals in which Ville Husso and Michael Rasmussen played well. The other was a 3-0 domination of the Chicago Blackhawks, mostly coming at the hands of Lucas Raymond. Rasymond had 1 goal and 2 assists and was in complete control of the game whenever he touched the puck. Dylan Larkin and Jakub Vrana also played very well, bot registering a goal. #LGRW
