Somehow I keep forgetting that there's a game tonight.

Brian Rafalski returns to the Detroit lineup, having recovered from having his knee scoped. This bumps Jakub Kindl back out on the blueline.

Drew Miller is also back out, with Patrick Eaves in on the fourth line and Jiri Hudler remaining in.

The Coyotes will be without captain Shane Doan, lost to a lower-body injury suffered in Phoenix's 6-3 loss to Dallas last Friday.

Jimmy Howard gets the start for Detroit. Chris Osgood skated for 15-20 minutes but has yet to practice with the team.

I'll be in and out for this one with family visiting for dinner.

I don't think that was intended to be banked off the boards but that might be one of the easiest goals in Cleary's career. Worked out very well. Nice to see him moving and welcome back Raffy.

That's what we were missing.

Strader's right, great move by Pavs on the chance by Zata.

Aww damn, good thing Jimmy's okay, that could be bad.

What is it with this team and allowing goals in the last minute of the period?

[YzerFan19]

Same play as the Wings scored on, almost. Gah. p*sses me off.

[YzerFan19]

I don't think that was tipped. Way to go Nick.

How we looking? Looks like we picked it up in the 3rd.

Watching te shot count tic up here for the yotes. Keep it in theor end guys...

[YzerFan19]

At least we get a point?

I think the Wings got sloppy from about the time of Lidstrom's goal to about 3:00 remaining. The rest of the period they dominated.

[YzerFan19]

Fantastic pass by Salei for the tip.

Edit: And, of course, great tip by Zata. I think he has more goals like that than Homer does this season.

[DetroitRiver]

Yeah we won!

Amazing how the Wings "flipped the switch" in this game and enforced their will at times late in 2nd and all third period. Yotes played a gutsy road game but Wings wouldn't be denied.
