The Detroit Red Wings will battle the Vancouver Canucks tomorrow (12:30 PM EST on FanDuel SportsNet Detroit/Sportsnet Pacific/Sportsnet One/97.1 FM) without the services of Alex Lyon or Patrick Kane.
Coach Lalonde’s post-practice remarks indicate that Lyon (lower-body) will be out for a while yet, while Kane should return from his upper-body injury on Tuesday in Boston.
Coach Lalonde also stated that Cam Talbot will start against Vancouver on Sunday, which probably means a battle between Talbot and unbeaten-on-the-road Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen, who’s pitched a 9-and-0 road record this season.
Given the Red Wings’ performance in Friday’s 5-4 loss to New Jersey, I think that Talbot will be particularly motivated to end Lankinen’s winning streak.
Here are today’s media availabilities from Dylan Larkin and coach Lalonde:
