Ted Kulfan takes a look at the Red Wings under new coach Todd McLellan and L.A. Kings TV analyst Jim Fox is the interview guest.



Fox, a former first-round draft choice who scored his first NHL goal against Detroit goalie Gilles Gilbert in 1980, worked with McLellan in Los Angeles from 2019-2024.



"There will be doubt whatsover the way Todd wants things done," Fox said. "That will not be an issue. It will be communicated. It will be explained. You'll see it. You'll see it in practice. Once they get on the ice, it's all business. Todd is clear. He's up front. That's what you're going to get."
