Following two days off after a home opener loss to the Dallas Stars, the Red Wings are back at it tonight hosting the Minnesota Wild.

 

Returning from injury for the Wings are Todd Bertuzzi, Darren Helm and Jakub Kindl.  Patrick Eaves will be a healthy scratch to make room for the returning forwards, as Gustav Nyquist has already been returned to the Grand Rapids Griffins.  Ian White's injury in the Dallas game makes room for Kindl.

 

Per the Red Wings' Bill Roose, the lines will be as follows...

 

Brunner - Zetterberg - Franzen

Bertuzzi - Filppula - Datsyuk

Abdelkader - Helm - Cleary

Miller - Emmerton - Tootoo

 

Kronwall - Lashoff

Quincey - Smith

Huskins - Kindl

 

Howard

 

This will be the first visit of the season for the Wild and free-agent additions Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.  Depending on who you believe, either the Wings were right in it until the end in vying for their services last summer or never had a chance because they had decided to go to Minnesota together.

 

Game time is 7:30 on FSD+.

Why DirecTV not showing the game on fsn +...?

[YzerFan19]

This could be a long night.  Two pretty quick penalties.

[RideTheRedWave]

24 seconds later they turned it on.. woohoo

Apparently it was broken, should be back.

Nice block by Huskins there.

[YzerFan19]

Huge opportunity early with the long five-on-three coming.  Bet they lose the opening draw.

[YzerFan19]

Mickey saw that one-timer attempt coming and so did the Wild.  Telegraphed the whole way.

How do you have no shots in 90 seconds of two man advantage?

Because they can't shoot the puck! This reminds me of the 2002 season when fans were yelling "shoot the puck!"

[SYfanSD]

They have to win tonight. With the shortened season you can't afford to fall behind more than six point otherwise, your screwed.

[SYfanSD]

This is the first game I've been able to catch. I thought it was hard when Stevie Y left... Watching a game without number 5 and 96 really sucks!!! It really feels like a major part is missing... So weird...

[YzerFan19]

Well, that could have been much worse.  PK looking good tonight.

[SYfanSD]

Agreed.

[YzerFan19]

Damn I love Switzerland.  Hell of a shot by Brunner.

[YzerFan19]

Weird-ass second goal.  Bert working out in front of the net already.

[YzerFan19]

Downer time: Bad feeling about this PK.

[YzerFan19]

So that's how you move the puck on a two-man advantage.

[YzerFan19]

That was pretty stupid, Kindl.
