Toothpaste, scissors and better table tennis skills are among the Detroit Red Wings’ resolutions as they size up 2018.

In honor of that time of year when it’s popular to make a resolution, the Free Press quizzed players on what resolutions they would make for a teammate. Tomas “Tuna” Tatar and Gustav Nyquist were popular choices; others who need to attend to their grooming or diets include Darren Helm, Jonathan Ericsson and Tyler Bertuzzi.

►Trending Wings news:

We asked: What resolution would you make for a teammate? The answers:

Tomas Tatar: “For Gus to stop gossiping. He talks too much.”

Andreas Athanasiou: “For Anthony Mantha to start giving me some competition in ping pong. We have a table in back and play a lot. He’s been weak lately.”

Mike Green: “My New Year’s resolution is for Gus Nyquist to try to be less handsome.”

Frans Nielsen: “For Tuna to stop crying when Henrik and I beat him at PlayStation golf.”

Martin Frk: “For Bert to cut his hair.”

Justin Abdelkader: “Big E needs to shave his beard.”

David Booth: “For Helmer to eat less candy. No more sweets for him.”

Luke Witkowski: “Danny DeKeyser should start brushing his teeth.”

Tyler Bertuzzi: “For Frky to hit the net.”

Nick Jensen: “For Tatar to make sure he’s got his skate guards off before he goes on the ice every day. It happens too often.”

Darren Helm: “None. All my teammates are perfect.”
