from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Here are projections for the Oct. 5 opening night lineup.
Defense
Pair 2: Patrik Nemeth and Filip Hronek
Nemeth was signed for his sound defensive style. He could be a good partner either for Hronek or Green, and however it shakes out, it gives the Wings a right-shot and a left-shot on their top two pairings.
Pair 3: Trevor Daley/Jonathan Ericsson and Dennis Cholowski
Given their injury history, it seems doubtful both Daley and Ericsson make it through preseason.
