Tomas Jurco will be in the lineup when the Detroit Red Wings visit Boston on Tuesday (7 p.m., FSD), as fellow forwards Tomas Vanek (lower body) and Dylan Larkin (upper body) will sit out with injuries. Forward Steve Ott (shoulder) is questionable.
Coach Jeff Blashill wouldn’t say who would be the 12th forward for the Wings. It could be Drew Miller, who cleared waivers today, according to Elliotte Friedman.
Blashill said Larkin also won’t play Wednesday, when the Wings host the Toronto Maple Leafs. But he wasn’t ready to rule out Vanek, whom he said is day-to-day.
