The Red Wings wrap up their preseason exhibition schedule this afternoon with a matchup against the Swedish Elite League's Farjestads BK at their home arena in Karlstad.

Detroit is expected to play their regular season lineup for the first time in nine preseason exhibitions. Henrik Zetterberg claims he is ready to play after recovering from a groin injury, leaving Justin Abdelkader the odd man out of the Wings' 13 forwards.

Derek Meech is out as the Red Wings' seventh defenseman while Daniel Larsson is only with the team as an emergency goaltender and can't play unless Chris Osgood or Jimmy Howard are injured.

The game will not be televised in the US but will be streamed live on NHL.com starting at 1:00 PM.

Hmm, no commentary. And my internet's too slow at the moment to handle it, it's jumping all over the place. Damn.

[YzerFan19]

Yeah, surprised by the lack of commentary. And that Howard is in net.

Williams puts a rocket shot into the top corner. Nice tip-pass from Leino on the neutral zone turnover.

Williams gets one in on the top shelf! 1-0 GO WINGS!

I just saw Abs on the ice, looks like he's on the roster. I was also surprised to see Howard in goal. Maybe Ozzie will play in another period, it is preseason still after all.

I bet if there was commentary, it would be in Swedish anyways, all the stats they have shown were so far.

[YzerFan19]

Stuart out? I'm surprised to see Meech out there.

[rrasco]

NICE SAVE HOWARD!

I saw Stuart on the ice already too.

[YzerFan19]

Fantastic save by Howard.

Wings Power Play. Inkvall: 2 Minuter.

[rrasco]

Zetterberg gets in on the same corner as Williams.

Zata with the PPG. Nice screen by Cleary but I think the goalie should have had it.

[rrasco]

I think Farjestad is losing their momentum. They came out swinging and had us on our heels for the better half of the first 5-7 minutes.

[rrasco]

Zing! Add Filly to the goal scorers list. Another PPG for the Wings. What is that, 2 for 2? =D

[YzerFan19]

One-timed snap shot from the slot for Fil. Nice.

Just realized it's Draper who Abs is in for.

[rrasco]

What happened to Drapes? I saw him on a shift already as well.

Arena seems really quiet. Did it start that way? I came in five minutes late 'cause I'm watching from work.

Two for two that I've seen.

Zata is the interview for Swedish TV, of course.

[YzerFan19]

Maybe he's there and they're rolling a full lineup. No commentary so I have no idea, but I haven't seen him and these are the lines I've noticed:

Franzen - Datsyuk - Holmstrom
Bert - Zata - Cleary
Leino - Filppula - Williams
Eaves - Abdelkader - Maltby

They were singing something before the game and they had a few chants going in the beginning too.

I'm also at work, but luckily, I'm the IT guy and it's been quiet so far. Gonna run and grab a sandwich real quick during intermission.

Gotta head to a phone call with an ecommerce provider, keep the updates coming.
