The Wings PK on a 4 on 3 tonight had Zetterberg,Datsyuk and Lashoff. Different to say the least....
Haha! Lashoff gets his first NHL goal
GO WINGS!

Don't want to be too premature but consider this is actually an issue for the Wings....does Brunner now slide into Hudler's former spot in the Wings' shootout lineup? For pretty much all of last season they went Datsyuk-Hudler-Bertuzzi.
Filppula has absolutely terrible hands.....Zetterberg has been in an awful shootout slump dating back to two seasons ago we he was a regular in their threesome.....doesn't leave too many options.
I would think so.

Sounds like a free agent currently not over seas if he could make the dallas game tonight.General manager Ken Holland told the Free Press this morning that he is working on signing a veteran and hopes to be able to use the defenseman in tonight's home opener against the Dallas Stars.
Nyquist has been called up

Nyquist recalled from GR, playing with Fil and Franzen tonight. Samuelsson (groin) out
Quincey was awful last night. And having him with a rookie in Smith has not been a good pairing so far at all.
Lashoff suprised me, he played a simple game. He didn't stand out but he wasn't bad either. I think that PK had more to do with who was in the box and on the bench, but Babcock still showed enough to be out there over Ian White and Carlo.
Carlo being hurt again...with what looked like most innocent of plays.
Brunner, regardless of his shootout goal, did not look out of place. And as Pierre McGuire pointed out (Can't believe i'm agreeing with him) the things he's learning shift to shift are great.
I personally think we should break up Pavs and Z though, the second line can't get anything going.
so much so for my Campoli guess
Ansar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive
Wings have signed free agent defenseman Kent Huskins.
I think the breakup has to be coming now. Filppula and Franzen had their chances last night but either have yet to score. Now Samuelsson is out and who knows when Bertuzzi will play. Plus Mursak, Helm, Carlo, Ericsson, Kindl....yikes.
Put Zetterberg with Brunner and Fil and Datsyuk with Franzen and Nyquist. That's my hope for Friday.
Thought the breakup happened already as i saw datsyuk and franzen assisting on a goal either last night or the game before. Maybe it was just one shift. But owning both i like when there togeher. Always magic

Alright....next up.
Kronwall - Lashoff
Smith - Quincey
Huskins - Kindl
I was always rooting for Kindl, so hopefully he comes back Friday and plays well.
And Nyquist was sent down, not even a real good chance was given. Bertuzzi and Helm expected back Friday.
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Brunner
Bertuzzi - Filppula - Franzen
Cleary - Helm - Eaves
Miller - Abdelkader - Tootoo
Still not great, but better. I am pumped for Helm to be back.
from twitter:
was bound to happen, I think D and Z would have stayed together if they came out of the gates red hot but it hasnt worked well so onto plan BAnsar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive
Datsyuk with Bertuzzi and Filppula, Zetterberg with Brunner and Franzen
