The Detroit Red Wings return to home ice after winning both games on their road trip; they defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 and followed that up with a 4-2 win over the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets.
Tonight, they clash with the divisional foe Ottawa Senators (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
Players are on the ice in preparation for tonight's game; per Ansar Khan of MLive, coach Todd McLellan will be rolling with the following line combinations for tonight's game:
Veleno - Larkin - Raymond
DeBrincat - Copp - Kane
Berggren - Compher - Tarasenko
Rasmussen - Kasper - Motte
Chiarot - Seider
Edvinsson - Holl
Gustafsson - Johansson
Lagesson rotating in
Christian Fischer appears to be the odd-man out again; he last played on December 27 against the Maple Leafs.
Power play units:
1. DeBrincat (net front), Larkin (bumper), Raymond-Kane (flanks), Seider (point).
2. Rasmussen (net front), Compher (bumper), Kasper-Tarasenko (flanks), Gustafsson (point).
These are the same combinations that the Red Wings iced in their pair of recent victories as part of the 4-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, the Red Wings remain without defenseman Jeff Petry, who was hurt in last week's win over the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
William Lagesson was re-called from the Grand Rapids Griffins, though he's yet to get into a game; he's skated in a pair of games this year with the Red Wings before being sent back down.
