Status report
Compher will be a game-time decision after missing a 5-3 win against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday due to illness; if he cannot play, the Red Wings could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. … Aube-Kubel, a forward, will be available to return but is more likely to do so against the Florida Panthers on Monday to benefit from more practice days. … Benson will miss a second straight game and has not skated with the team since Monday; coach Lindy Ruff said the forward is “doing ok” but is not yet where he needs to be in order to get back on the ice.
