Copp scored his ninth goal of the season during Thursday's 4-2 victory over Montreal, a shorthanded breakaway in the second period giving the Wings a 3-0 lead. Lately Copp has been centering Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane (now Vladimir Tarasenko with Kane injured) in more of an offensive role.

The Red Wings are struggling for offense these days and the team didn't get news Thursday that'll necessarily help that matter.

The Detroit Red Wings will be without Patrick Kane when they welcome the Montreal Canadiens to Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night.

Patrick Kane is dealing with an upper body injury, and the Detroit Red Wings hope Vladimir Tarasenko can ameliorate that loss.

Vladimir Tarasenko will take Kane’s spot on a line with Alex DeBrincat and Andrew Copp. He will also take ... the guys that gets an opportunity with Patrick coming out,” McLellan said.

Said Lucas Raymond: “When you’re winning, it makes things a lot easier and makes you even more focused to keep it that way. You don’t want to let that go. I think it’s the way we’ve been playing, which is probably the nicest feeling. It hasn’t been a coincidence. We worked really hard for it and we continue to do so every day.”

After a trio of home wins, the Red Wings will get back on the road as January ends, hoping for better results than the last road trip.
