Unless you're at the Joe tonight, it looks like you'll be unable to watch the his game, as no broadcasts are currently scheduled. As of this posting, here's what we know about the Wings lineup. Petr Mrazek will play the entire game, presumably with Jared Coreau backing up. Danny Cleary will make his preseason debut, Xavier Ouellet is at least skating so hopefully he heals from his upper body injury quickly. Teemu Pulkkinen has an upper mid level injury, and Mike Green has a sore groin (insert Red Wings groin joke here) both are listed as day-to-day.
Since the big boys had the last game off, we'll see something similar to the lines in the second game against Chicago. Please note, Franzen comes in but I don't know exactly who he'll play with so I'm just plugging him in somewhere. Jeff Hoggan and Martin Frk come out with Cleary and Franzen in, and no word as of the time this past went up as to who will play on D with Green out.
