The Wings head to Chicago tonight to take on the Chicago Blackhawks. In the opposite fashion to what we saw on Sunday, this time Detroit is icing a squad with few NHL regulars while the Blackhawks will ice at least two NHL-ready top lines and an entire defensive corps that could play in the big league right now.
The Red Wings' lineup, courtesy of Bill Roose at Redwings.com:
Chris Conner – Justin Abdelkader – Darren Helm
Tomas Tatar – Joakim Andersson – Landon Ferrero
Gustav Nyquist – Cory Emmerton – Fabian Brunnstrom
Jonathan Ericsson – Jakub Kindl
Doug Janik – Brendan Smith
Mike Commodore – Travis Ehrhardt
Ty Conklin
Jordan Pearce
Roose also has the Blackhawks' lineup. It's not broken into lines because what are the odds Quenneville is going to keep any of them together more than 20 seconds anyway?
