BREAKING: Veteran Injury, Lineup Revealed
Keystone Press

The Detroit Red Wings are set to face off against the San Jose Sharks tonight and it was reported earlier today by Ansar Khan of MLive.com that head coach Jeff Blashill would not reveal any significant changes to the lineup until game time.

 

 

As of minutes ago, it has been confirmed that Justin Abdelkader will sit out tonight’s matchup due to a (mystery?) injury that has sidelined him. His status is day-to-day.

 

Instead, rookie Athanasiou will get a chance to once again prove that he has what it takes to earn himself a permanent spot on the roster. He will play on a third line with Darren Helm and Thomas Vanek. 

Moreover, the official forward lines have been revealed, and if warmup lines are telling, Henrik Zetterberg will center the second line while the fourth line will consist of Steve Ott, Luke Glendening and Drew Miller.
