In Brief : Red Wings Pleased With Probert

Share
From Times staff and wire service reports

Troubled Detroit Red Wing Bob Probert has proven his dedication to the team and has been taken off the trading block, coach Jacques Demers said. “No calls are being made right now,” Demers said Tuesday in Uniondale, N.Y., where the Wings played the New York Islanders.

“Sure we want to be cautious, but right now we’re happy with him. He’s been working hard since last Wednesday and making an effort to be committed to the team at this point.” Probert had been in disfavor with the coaching staff and team officials because of a number of team infractions and a recurring alcohol problem.
