The Detroit Red Wings are set to face off against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena tonight. Here’s a look at the projected lineups for both teams, based on recent reports.

Detroit Red Wings Projected Lineup

The Red Wings (13-9-1) are looking to continue their strong season, though they are coming off a recent loss to the New Jersey Devils. Coach Todd McLellan will be looking for a bounce-back performance from his squad.

Here's how the Red Wings are expected to line up:

• Forwards:
  • Emmitt Finnie - Dylan Larkin - Lucas Raymond
  • Patrick Kane - Marco Kasper - Alex DeBrincat
  • Jonatan Berggren - Nate Danielson - Mason Appleton
  • Michael Rasmussen - Andrew Copp - James van Riemsdyk
• Defense:
  • Jacob Bernard-Docker - Moritz Seider
  • Ben Chiarot - Axel Sandin-Pellikka
  • Travis Hamonic - Albert Johansson
• Goalies:
  • Cam Talbot
  • John Gibson

Key players to watch for the Red Wings include Alex DeBrincat, who leads the team in goals and total points. Dylan Larkin is also a key offensive contributor. The defense will be anchored by Moritz Seider, while Cam Talbot is expected to start in goal.

There are a couple of injury concerns for Detroit. Simon Edvinsson is out with an illness, marking his third straight game missed. J.T. Compher's status is uncertain; he didn't participate in the morning skate but could still play. Marco Kasper and Elmer Soderblom are expected to be scratched.

Nashville Predators Projected Lineup

The Predators (6-12-4) are struggling this season and are currently on a three-game losing streak. Coach Andrew Brunette is seeking a way to turn things around.

Here’s the anticipated lineup for Nashville:

  • Filip Forsberg - Ryan O'Reilly - Luke Evangelista
  • Steven Stamkos - Erik Haula - Matthew Wood
  • Michael Bunting - Michael McCarron - Jonathan Marchessault

• Defense:
  • Nicolas Hague - Roman Josi
  • Brady Skjei - Nick Perbix
  • Spencer Stastney - Nick Blankenburg
• Goalies:

Cole Smith is currently injured and will be out of the lineup. Adam Wilsby and Justin Barron are expected to be the healthy scratches. The Predators are likely to keep the same lineup for the third consecutive game.
