Gameday Updates - Keys to the Game: Detroit Red Wings vs Edmonton Oilers

Jimmy Howard vs. Jonas Gustavsson is confirmed as your goaltending matchup.

No lineup changes so far, but the defensive pairings were different at practice yesterday.

Jesse Puljujarvi and Zack Kassian are out of the Edmonton lineup after leaving yesterday's game with injuries. Anton Slepyshev and Taylor Beck replace them. Slepyshev already has his first career NHL goal, so he's not guaranteed to score tonight.
