Red Wings-Penguins morning skate Tweets: Lines, lineups and quotes

Detroit plays Pittsburgh tonight at 7 PM (Bally Sports Detroit Extra/WWJ; streamed on PittsburghPenguins.com). Here’s the Wings’ roster…

And the Penguins’ roster:

Of Twitter-related note from the Wings’ beat writers:

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
