Darren McCarty, back from his one-game stint with the Grand Rapids Griffins, will miss tonight's Red Wings - Blue Jackets matchup. McCarty tweaked a groin injury at Detroit's morning skate.

Derek Meech will remain at forward to replace McCarty on the fourth line.

Other lineup changes from Wednesday's loss to Montreal are the return of Dan Cleary - who will skate alongside Valtteri Filppula and Jiri Hudler on the third line - and Chris Osgood replacing Ty Conklin in the Red Wings' crease.

It will be nice to have Clears back in the lineup. I also saw that Chelios was skating at practice and he should be making a return early next month.

[YzerFan19]

Cheli looks to be a week away, by all reports. But he's been quick to say that he needs a "preseason" of sorts.

Ohio must've done something wrong the day it was blessed with the Blue Jackets

I don't want to be over-confident or cocky, but the Wings shouldn't be outplayed tonight. So that's a reason to be optimistic. I'd like to see Dr. Fil do something!

Commodore in the box, so hopefully the 'best power-play in the league' gets something going!

Anyone heard the results of the Ice Classic darwing today?

First PP here we go.

[YzerFan19]

Power play looked awful, couldn't even cleanly gain the zone.

[DetroitRiver]

PK time

[DetroitRiver]

Columbus looked far far worse on their PP

[YzerFan19]

Friggin' post. That's how it's going right now.

[DetroitRiver]

Don't that beat it all... Nuts

[YzerFan19]

Like I said, that's how it's going right now. When was the last time the Wings had a puck bounce right to them at the side of the net? Of course, I'd rather have that happen now than in the spring.

effing linesmen!!!

[YzerFan19]

Linesman jumps in quick to protect Torres. What a little bitch.

[YzerFan19]

Zata makes 'em pay!

[DetroitRiver]

Wooooo hooooo!!!

1 -1

Good d by Franz as well

[YzerFan19]

Wings get probably their best chance of the period (including on the goal) but litterally run out of time. Damn.

[YzerFan19]

Big stop by Ozzie on Huselius.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Awesome. Wings take the lead. Hudler with the goal.

[YzerFan19]

Another power play goal! Great job for Huds to stay with it.

And on that note, I'm on my way out. Got a soccer game tonight so I'll be catching up with the rest of the Wings game later.

Hudler on the Powerplay! Just. Very cynical trip by Commodore for the penalty, serves him right with that goal.
