Just
ahead of the official end of the NHL lockout, Red Wings owners Marian

If the players, as expected, vote to approve the labor deal, training camp will open Sunday at Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth. According to reports, the Red Wings will start the season Jan. 19 at St. Louis, play in Columbus on Jan. 21, then open at home Jan. 22 vs. Dallas.
