The Wings had an optional skate this morning, so there wasn’t much information we could gather about what Jeff Blashill has in store for us tonight.
We are able to confirm that Jimmy Howard will find himself in the starter’s net again.
This is his first appearance since allowing 3 goals on 4 shots against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday night, so hopefully he’s put that start behind him. It’s early, but Howard’s a big reason why this Wings team started out 4-1 and the Wings are going to need him at his best if they think they can stay competitive this year.
