#RedWings Blashill said Larkin, who skated this morning, will be a game-time decision. Veleno called up just in case. Namestnikov cleared to play.

Namestnikov didn’t skate this morning but he’s cleared to play and according to Max Bultman is expected to play.  Veleno’s call-up solves the issue of the Wings being forced to skate 11/7 if one of Larkin or Namestnikov can’t go.

Nathan MacKinnon is dealing with a lower-body issue that's not getting better. He's out tonight. They figure now is a good time with not many off days coming up.

Linesemen tonight breathe a sigh of relief.

The Avs have their division basically wrapped up and they’re likely pulling the chut a little bit.  No need to risk MacKinnon against Detroit.
