Line Change
Daley will be back in the Red Wings lineup on Friday.
Line Change
Bowey will draw back into the Red Wings lineup on Friday.
Line Change
Biega will be a healthy scratch on Friday.
Line Change
Cholowski will come out of the Red Wings lineup on Friday.
Goalie Start
Bernier will start in Edmonton on Friday.
Erne (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Erne suffered an upper-body injury in the Red Wings loss in Vancouver on Tuesday but could play Thursday in Calgary. Erne has no points and 11 shots in six games this season, so even if he does end up playing he carries very little to no fantasy value.
DeKeyser (mid-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
DeKeyser was a late-scratch in Vancouver on Tuesday and missed Wednesday’s practice but remains a game-time call for tonight’s game in Calgary. The recently acquired Alex Biega will remain in the Red Wings lineup if DeKeyser can’t play against the Flames.
Nemeth (illness) is expected to play on Thursday.
Nemeth is fighting an illness but said that he “feels better” and head coach Jeff Blashill anticipates him playing on Thursday. Nemeth has one assist and 14 shots in his first six games with the Red Wings.
Goalie Start
Howard will start Thursday in Calgary.
Howard allowed four goals on 40 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Maple Leafs last Saturday. Howard and Jonathan Bernier have alternated games and that will continue tonight in Calgary. Howard has allowed at least three goals in each of his three starts, posting a 3.40 GAA and .910 SV% overall. Calgary has averaged just 2.43 goals per game (24th) so far but presents a very difficult road matchup for Howard.
DeKeyser (undisclosed) is not expected to play on Tuesday.
The Red Wings have activated Trevor Daley (lower-body) from IR.

Goalie Start
Bernier will start Tuesday in Vancouver.
Bernier stopped 33 of 35 shots in the Red Wings win in Montreal last Thursday. Bernier has played very well in his first two starts, going 2-0-0 while stopping 52 of the 57 shots (.912 SV%). He draws a solid matchup against the 2-2-0 Canucks, who are averaging 3.00 goals per game.
Goalie Start
Howard led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.
Howard allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Ducks on Tuesday. Howard has given up three goals in each of his first two starts, going 1-1-0 with a .915 SV%. While Howard has been solid, Saturday’s matchup is not appealing. Howard went 1-1-0 against Toronto last season, with a 2.97 GAA and .891 SV%.
Goalie Start
Howard was in the starter's net at the Red Wings morning skate on Saturday.
Howard allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Ducks on Tuesday. Howard has given up three goals in each of his first two starts, going 1-1-0 with a .915 SV%. While Howard has been solid, Saturday’s matchup is not appealing. Howard went 1-1-0 against Toronto last season, with a 2.97 GAA and .891 SV%.
Goalie Start
Bernier will start Thursday in Montreal.
Bernier gave up three goals on 22 shots in the Red Wings win over the Stars last Sunday. Bernier made a massive stop in the final seconds to preserve his first win of the season. The Quebec native struggled on the road last year, going 6-12-4 with a 3.40 GAA and .899 SV%. He had to replace Jimmy Howard in two games vs. Montreal, allowing six goals on 62 shots (.903 SV%) in his three appearances vs. his hometown team.
Goalie Start
Howard will start Tuesday vs. the Ducks.
Howard turned in a great performance in his season debut, stopping 39 of the 42 shots that he faced in a 5-3 win in Nashville. Jonathan Bernier was equally impressive vs. Dallas on Sunday but head coach Jeff Blashill will go back to Howard tonight vs. Anaheim. Howard was 1-0-1 with a 1.44 GAA and .941 SV% in two starts vs. the Ducks last year.

Line Change
Bowey will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Bowey sat as a healthy scratch in the first two games but will replace Trevor Daley (lower-body) in the lineup on Tuesday. After being acquired from the Capitals last season, Bowey had four points (1G / 3A) in 17 games with the Red Wings.

Athanasiou (undisclosed) will make his season debut on Tuesday.
Despite being placed on IR on Monday night, Athanasiou was on the ice for the morning skate and will play Tuesday vs. the Ducks. Head coach Jeff Blashill confirmed that Athanasiou will play and is expected to centre the second line with Luke Glendening and Taro Hirose on his wings.
