The Detroit Red Wings’ injury news was mostly positive as they left town Wednesday to start their four-game road trip Thursday in Edmonton. Patrick Kane skated.

The latest update on the walking wounded of the Detroit Red Wings is not immediately encouraging. Forwards Patrick Kane and Tyler Motte both remain out with upper-body injuries and won’t play Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings have signed right wing Dominik Shine to a two-year contract and recalled him to the team. He is available to make his NHL debut tonight against the Los Angeles Kings. Shine, 31, leads the Grand Rapids Griffins with 32 points (11 goals, 21 assists) in 40 games.

McLellan and his right-hand man, former Kings and Ducks assistant Trent Yawney, have put their imprint on the winged wheel in short order. “Our structure in all three zones (has improved), I feel like we’re just supporting the puck better,” Talbot told The Detroit News.
