The Detroit Red Wings will face a familiar slate of opponents during the 2018 preseason, with home and away matchups against the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
The last time the Red Wings faced a team other than those four in a preseason game was 2011, when the Philadelphia Flyers were on their exhibition slate rather than the Bruins. Detroit was to face Washington in the 2012 preseason that was lost to the league’s lockout of the players.
Detroit’s exhibition schedule is as follows:
