The Red Wings played (and lost) last night in St. Paul. According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press these were the lines in advance of the game against the Wild:

“Larkin skated on his usual line, with Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader. Pavel Datsyk was with Darren Helm and Brad Richards, and Riley Sheahan with Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar. Joakim Andersson centered the fourth line, with Tomas Jurco and Tomas Nosek on the wings, and Tangradi subbing in.

Petr Mrazek is in goal, and the defense pairings have Niklas Kronwall with Danny DeKeyser, Brendan Smith with Mike Green, and Jakub Kindl with Alexey Marchenko.”

According to St. James the Jets will face Jimmy Howard in net.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
