The Red Wings will add one Olympian to the lineup tonight but lose another, as Niklas Kronwall returns from injury but Valtteri Filppula sits with a sore groin.
Combined with the fact that Andreas Lilja remains on LTIR and Kirk Maltby hasn't decided whether or not to have season-ending shoulder surgery, that gives the Red Wings a lineup of eleven forwards and seven defensemen. Derek Meech is expected to spend some time as a forward to round out the lines.
Game time is 7:00 but the Red Wings will have a pregame ceremony to honor their Olympians so actual puck-drop will be delayed.
Those watching on FSN Detroit will see the virtual ads on the end boards again. Personally, I was surprised by them but I'd rather have ads on the glass than on the jerseys.
Senators @ Red Wings - 2/13

A little late posting but fantastic to see Maltby get a goal in possibly his last game as a Wing.

Good game so far, opening ceremony was pretty cool, glad to see Maltby get a goal and great tip by datsyuk on a sick play by Lindstrom

And did Ken and Mickey say why Homer is out? I missed that.

Two strong periods. Unfortunately I'm still kind of thinking it's worrisome that they're "only" up by two.

I keep reading "Carkner" on the back of a Sens jersey and thinking, "Terry?" I feel old.

If that shot had gone in, it would have been on highlight reels forever.
