The Detroit Red Wings shuffled their lineup slightly over the course of Friday’s practice (which took place without Jeff Petry, and with Cam Talbot in the starter’s net).
After the Wings’ mid-day skate, the coach spoke with the media, and the news about the injured Jeff Petry (upper-body) was…good?
Jeff Petry is day to day, unavailable for tomorrow #LGRW

Derek Lalonde says Justin Holl will be called up for tomorrow’s game against Nashville. Albert Johansson might also make it into the lineup.

Justin Holl will be in tomorrow, hoping to get Albert Johansson in “pretty soon” per Coach Lalonde

#RedWings Lalonde said Justin Holl will be recalled from @griffinshockey and play tomorrow. Hasn’t decided if Johansson will make NHL debut tomorrow or maybe Monday at NYR. Talbot starts tomorrow.

The Red Wings will host the Nashville Predators (who lost 4-3 to Dallas last night) on Saturday, and then they’ll play the 1-and-0 New York Rangers in Manhattan on Monday night; the Rangers will come to town next Thursday, and then Detroit heads to Nashville to wrap up its season series with the Predators next Saturday.
Meanwhile, in Grand Rapids, Holl was taking part in the Grand Rapids Griffins’ game-day skate ahead of the season opener vs. Milwaukee (he’s in picture #3)…

Hmmm, are they saving Lyon for the NYR?
That’s entirely possible…Unless Talbot wins…Then it might be start-till-you-lose.
Sounds good.
Dear Marco Kasper,
Play so well in GR that by the time October ends, the Wings call you up.
Sincerely,
