Lalonde confirms it’s Reimer for the first half of tonight’s game. Jan Bednar will get the second. Said he earned it with a good rookie camp and training camp

We’re excited to introduce our broadcast team for the 2023-24 @DetroitRedWings season!

And among Carley Johnston’s Tweets:
Jonatan Berggren saying he feels like he has something to prove and needs to compete for his spot #LGRW
Berggy says last year he feels like he created chances a lot more than he scored, thinks if he adds a little more edge this year that they’ll start going in #LGRW
Berggren says with Magnus Hellberg no longer on the team (now in the Penguins organization), he has to find a new ride into work
Nate Danielson on his first game in a winged wheel sweater, says he’s excited right now— but feels there will be nerves ahead of the game #LGRW
Danielson says there isn’t just one player in particular on the team who has taken him under their wing (no pun intended), but that the whole team has really helped him out #LGRW
Coach Lalonde says some of his advice to players playing their first exhibition game— play your game, do not be paralyzed by structure, mistakes will be made #LGRW
Matt Luff and Carter Mazur are longer-term injuries, per Coach Lalonde #LGRW
Coach Lalonde says the goaltenders will be splitting time tonight. James Reimer on the front end, Jan Bednář to finish it out #LGRW
