at
Columbus Blue Jackets (12-9-5, 29 points, 8th Metro, 13th East)
It’s a national TV (kinda) showcase as the Jackets host the Red Wings. We don’t give a damn for the WHOLE state of Michigan, ya know.
Sean Monahan a game time decision after leaving Monday’s game early (but not before scoring two goals). Prior to that game, Dean Evason noted that he has been playing through injuries already.
In positive injury news, Kirill Marchenko is back in the lineup after not playing since being injured in the previous Detroit matchup, on November 22.
In an exchange of Lucae, Pinelli returns to the Cleve, while Del Bel Belluz returns to the Columbus lineup.
