TAYLOR - Jared Coreau grew up in Perth, Ontario, about 40 miles west of Ottawa. He attended goalie camps at Canadian Tire Centre as a youth and grew up watching the Senators.
Coreau will have a lot of friends and family at Thursday's game, so it would be special he was in net for the Detroit Red Wings.
And it appears Coreau will get the start, though coach Jeff Blashill declined to reveal his lineup Wednesday after practice.
"I think it would be pretty cool," Coreau said. "Whether I start or not I've got family that's going to be there which will be big.
