“I feel good now,” he said. “Obviously it’s been a long time – that short, four game stint between wasn’t nearly enough. I’m excited to go out there tonight and hopefully things go well.”
Mantha had been absent from the lineup since late December when he suffered a punctured lung after being thrown to the ice by Toronto defenseman Jake Muzzin.
The Red Wings take on the Sabres tonight in Buffalo at 7:00 PM EST.
