The Wings had an optional skate this morning at Nationwide arena, here’s what we know about the rosters going into tonight's game:

As Ansar Khan reported yesterday:

With Athanasiou and Nielsen both out tonight, it looks like Michael Rasmussen will be slotted into the center position in his 10th NHL game, officially burning off a year of his ELC.

#RedWings Blashill said Rasmussen will play center tomorrow at #BlueJackets. It’ll be his 10th game, burning a year off his entry-level contract. He can still be sent to juniors later this season but looks like he’s here to stay.
