GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.- The Detroit Red Wings on Thursday recalled forwards Luke Glendening and Tomas Jurco from the Grand Rapids Griffins and assigned forwards Teemu Pulkkinen and Riley Sheahan to their AHL affiliate.

The Wings will battle the Toronto Maple Leafs in Detroit at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the first of back-to-back skirmishes, when both Glendening and Jurco will be available to play. Preseason play concludes for Detroit when the team then faces the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Saturday at 7 p.m.
