After the loss in Chicago on Sunday the Red Wings traveled to Nashville for tonight’s contest with the Predators. The big news on the day entering the game was the update that Dennis Cholowski was going to find himself a healthy scratch this evening with the return of Trevor Daley to the lineup. While Daley was a welcome return to the lineup, there was more than a few fans upset (including yours truly) the Cholowski was the one forced out of the lineup.
One other notable lineup update for this game was that, at least to begin the game, Mantha would find himself on a line with Larkin and Nyquist rather than Abdelkader who had previously been holding down the spot during Bertuzzi’s absence.
