The Detroit Red Wings have shuffled up their line combinations thanks to Andrew Copp's absence from today's game against the visiting Ducks.
The Detroit Red Wings won't have forward Andrew Copp available to them for tonight's game at Little Caesars Arena against the Anaheim Ducks (6:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
He was hurt during yesterday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild after joining an on-ice ruckus following a massive hit by Alex DeBrincat on Brock Faber.
The Red Wings have not re-called anyone from the Grand Rapids Griffins, meaning that a forward who was scratched from yesterday's lineup will likely be slotted in.
Today's possible line combinations are as follows:
Tyler Motte-Joe Veleno-Vladimir Tarasenko
Alex Lyon will start in goal after Cam Talbot played in yesterday's game.
Andrew Copp left yesterday's game
According to head coach Todd McLellan following yesterday's game, Copp was doubtful at best for today.
I think they're looking at him now. I would say he's doubtful for tomorrow (at home against the Anaheim Ducks).
Copp achieved a career milestone earlier in the game with an assist, giving him his 300th career NHL point.
