Derek Lalonde, Red Wings coach

We don’t know where Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde does his impulse shopping, but we do know that he likes what 7-11 has to offer to his team. On Tuesday, the Red Wings were making the decision to send veteran forward Zach Aston-Reese to the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins. The move is leaving the club with just 22 players on the NHL roster, 12 of them forwards.

So what happens if a forward gets hurt? Well, that’s when Lalonde might go to 7-11 – as in seven defensemen and 11 forwards.

“I’m still not opposed to 7-11 on Thursday (in the season opener at New Jersey) also,” Lalonde said. “It’s what we are right now post-camp.”
