Following their first win of the season on Monday afternoon, the Columbus Blue Jackets faced off with the Detroit Red Wings on the second night of a back-to-back, looking to even their season record at 2-2. After the win, head coach John Tortorella opted to juggle the lines, but did not change the skaters. He did announce that goaltender Elvis Merzlikins would get the start in net for the club.
For the Red Wings, Christian Djoos returned to skate after being in quarantine, but there are not expected to be any lineup changes.
