Tyler Bertuzzi is skating this morning. Derek Lalonde said yesterday they don’t expect him to be available tonight. Day to day. #LGRW

Actually, Lalonde said Husso will start the next two games and if he hasn't faced a lot of shots, they might re-evaluate and start him again Friday at NYI. https://t.co/UP61Yzfvps

I'm not in Detroit but #SJSharks James Reimer will start tonight vs. Red Wings. Sounds like Kevin Labanc will re-enter the lineup.

Keys to the Game

• Finish: Whether it’s finding a way to turn a prime scoring chance into a goal or playing the entire 60 minutes to turn a good performance into a win, it’s time to start earning something to show for the past few weeks’ worth of solid hockey.
• Let the Top Line Cook: It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the Wings’ top line this year, but Larkin, Raymond, and current #1 LW Michael Rasmussen are starting to heat up a bit. Against a weak Sharks’ goaltending and defense (actual defense) unit, there are going to be plenty of opportunities for that trio to heat up again./
