The Red Wings are back to .500 and look to improve tonight in Buffalo. They'll do so without both Kirk Maltby and Kris Draper as Darren Helm returns to the lineup.

Helm is making his first appearance of the season after suffering a sprained AC joint during the preseason. He takes Draper's spot in the lineup while Maltby remains out in favor of Patrick Eaves.

Eaves and Helm will join Brad May on the Wings' fourth line. All other lines are expected to remain the same as were used in the third period of Detroit's 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday.

No changes are expected on defense and Chris Osgood will start in goal.

Good to see Buffalo aren't wearing those sh*tty Buffaslug jerseys. Not much gone on so far.

Sabres are really flying. I feel like to a certain extent the Wings are just holding on.

[YzerFan19]

Hecht dropped his stick, that was a lame call.

And of course the Sabres score on the power play.

[Britishwingsfan]

f*cking PK.

[Britishwingsfan]

Filppula!!

Power play finally got going and a goal comes out of it. If Mickey was the color guy tonight he's say kids that's why you keep your stick on the ice.

Kronwall-ed!

Good to see Dr. Fil tie it up!

Abs yapping at Grier. Nice.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Well, that just sucks.

[YzerFan19]

Goddamnit, I thought Ozzie had that. Just barely couldn't get reset.

[YzerFan19]

Wow. What can you do there? Lidstrom played that perfectly.

[Britishwingsfan]

Aarghhh! And to make it worse I dropped Vanek from my yahoo fantasy team yesterday.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Jesus Christ. Maybe I should stop watching and they'll play better.

[YzerFan19]

I just realized something. It's a lot easier to score when you're right in front of the goalie. Someone pass that on to Babcock so he can tell the defense to keep people out.

[Britishwingsfan]

Jesus Christ. The wings have been dominated all game.

[Mathieu_Datsyuk132351]

Next Sabres goal I believe I am done. :/

[YzerFan19]

Way to race back there Stuie. Dipsh*t. Howard should be coming in on defense, Osgood got hung out to dry.

[Britishwingsfan]

The way it's going at the moment, I'd be happy with Buffalo getting single figures.
