Red Wings banking on health and depth for second half, as break concludes

The Red Wings were back on the ice Sunday — many of them returning from warm-weather destinations — and were ready for the rest of the regular season. The eight-day All-Star break — captain Dylan Larkin had a league-mandated off-day Sunday after taking part in the All-Star game and festivities over the weekend — got the Wings rested and ready for what they hope is a push to make the playoffs. Well, at least until defenseman Filip Hronek hurt himself during practice and left the ice for the remainder of the session — coach Derek Lalonde said it was too easy to determine the exact severity of the upper-body injury. "It's been a tough year for keeping everyone healthy," said Robby Fabbri, who returned in January after major knee surgery.
