Jeff Blashill sent a message to Anthony Mantha by making him a healthy scratch

The head coach of the Detroit Red Wings is sending a not-so-subtle message to one of their top forwards.

Jeff Blashill explained after today’s 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers that Anthony Mantha was not in the lineup because he was designated a healthy scratch.

“I just made a decision to go with the group I went with and any conversations I have with Anthony are private, between Anthony and myself,” he said. “I’m not going to comment further on it.”

Despite a three-game goal streak prior to Friday’s loss against the Lightning, Mantha hasn’t performed up to expectations this season. With a team-worst minus-eight rating, he was also stapled to the bench in the 3rd period of Detroit’s January 24th game against Chicago.

He admitted to having to play better and said that he previously met privately with Blashill and reviewed game tape to pinpoint the issue.

“I watched clips the last couple days and had a meeting with Blash,” Mantha said. “I think it’s just a matter of getting my feet moving again and being intense in battles.”

“When things don’t go your way you start overthinking,” he said. “I am thinking more than I used to, but like I said if I make it simple, those battles and shots, being involved in the plays, things will line up for me.”

Whether or not Mantha returns to the lineup on Tuesday remains a mystery.
