No Erne, Bertuzzi, or Lindstrom tonight. Veleno makes his season debut and Oesterle makes his Red Wings debut! Old friend Mrazek is in the net for the Leafs.
But most importantly, Dylan Larkin’s grandma is at the game.
Also, this happened:
Joe Veleno did, indeed, drive with Steve Yzerman from Detroit tonight. Just thought it would be easier than going to the airport. They listened to UM-MSU football, talked a bit, and Veleno slept a bit, too.

Fast start for both teams, “Boy oh boy you better have your boots on tonight” - Mickey Redmond.
