Per Lalonde, Alex Lyon—who was injured midway through the Red Wings' 1-0 loss in Philadelphia on December 16th—will start in net tomorrow night when Detroit hosts the Nashville Predators. Meanwhile, Olli Maatta and Jeff Petry are also poised to fold back into the lineup as well. Maatta was hurt in the Red Wings' 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers on the 22nd, while Petry picked up his injury the following day in New Jersey when he collided with Christian Fischer. With Maatta and Petry newly available on the back end, Detroit opted to send Simon Edvinsson back down to Grand Rapids. Joe Veleno missed last night's game with the Wild as well, and while he participated in today's practice, he didn't finish that practice and will not be available tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Fischer, Ville Husso, and Klim Kostin remain on injured reserve, with no defined timetable for their respective returns.
