The Wings head into Columbus tonight trying to rebound from their terrible, awful one game losing streak. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets are on some streak of their own. The big story is that this will be the season debut for Columbus’ new highly-paid defenseman and notorious charades champion James Wisniewski. As you’ll remember, he was suspended the first eight games of the season for thinking he was being attacked and sucker-punching a guy in the face.
Detroit’s lines:
Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Cleary
Hudler-Filppula-Franzen
Bertuzzi-Helm-Abdelkader
Eaves-Miller-Holmstrom
