The Red Wings are going into their final week of the pre-season. Anthony Mantha has looked good in the 2 games he has played scoring a goal in each game but he faces competition from Andreas Athanasiou. Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall may return to practice if their injuries have healed enough. On defense Xavier Oullete has been playing well but will face competition for a roster spot with Ryan Sproul and Nick Jensen.
