A couple changes to the lineup from last game, as the OMG line is back and Larkin is back on Wing while Blashill tries to find a combination of forwards to work around the Nyquist-Helm-Vanek line. Also on defense:
Looks like Sproul might be in. He skated with Smith and is practicing on second PP unit. #RedWings
