The Wings called up Brian Lashoff and Tomas Nosek to be the 13th forward and 7th defenseman as the team struggles through injuries looking forward to back-to-back games this weekend. Neither is expected to play tonight, but would be ready to go on the road if need be.
However, it looks like Jared Coreau will get his first NHL start tonight.
