Glendening, 27, is coming off of the best offensive year of his brief career, having picked up 21 points (8G / 13A) in 81 games. He has only missed one game over the last two years and led Red Wings forwards in face-off percentage and shorthanded time on ice last season. It appears Glendening will be the Red Wings’ fourth line centre for the next five seasons.
Miller, 23, was the 15th overall pick in 2011 and his breakout season was long awaited. Miller finally broke through in 2015-16 after posting just 33 points (15G / 18A) in 114 games over his first three seasons. Miller scored 22 goals with 21 assists (43 points) last season and figures to take steps forward as a member of the Rangers’ top-6 in 2016-17.
Reimer, 28, split last season with the Maple Leafs and Sharks after being dealt at the Trade Deadline. He combined for a 17-14-7 record with a 2.31 GAA and .922 SV%. He has a career .914 SV% in 196 starts and signs with the Panthers as insurance for 37-year-old Roberto Luongo. Bobby Lu will likely start the majority of games, but Reimer should start more than your average backup with the upside for a straight platoon if he plays well.
The Red Wings utilized Glendening in a shutdown role vs. the Lightning last year. He will be called upon to do the same this year, so his availability for Wednesday’s game will be important to the Red Wings’ success. He averaged 14:35 TOI in the regular season and averaged 15:31 TOI in the seven game series last year.
Korpisalo allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Blue Jackets loss to the Rangers on Monday. Korpisalo has lost three of his last four starts while posting a 2.79 GAA and .913 SV%. Tonight he will face the Sabres, who he is 0-1-0 against, on the road where he has gone 6-7-1 with a 2.83 GAA and .913 SV% this season.
Reimer allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Sharks win in Nashville on Saturday. Reimer has won his last two starts and is now 5-2-0 with a 1.85 GAA, .927 SV% and two shutouts in seven starts since joining the Sharks. Tonight he will take on a Wild team that is coming off of a tough week—they’ve lost three in a row while being outscored 11-5.
Korpisalo stopped 26 of 27 shots in the Blue Jackets win in Carolina on Saturday. He will make his second straight start because he has been outplaying Sergei Bobrovsky recently. Korpisalo lost his first start vs. the Rangers, but he has played very well at Nationwide Arena this season—going 9-3-3 with a 2.46 GAA and .923 SV% this year.
Korpisalo allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Blue Jackets 2-1 loss to New Jersey last Sunday. Korpisalo has gone 14-9-4 with a 2.61 GAA and .918 SV% in 26 starts this season and tonight he will make his first career start vs. Nashville. The 21-year-old has gone 5-6-1 with a 2.80 GAA and .912 SV% on the road.
