Franzen and Bertuzzi will be in the lineup tonight. They are scratching Sproul from making his first NHL start. Here is a look at the projected lines:

Johan Franzen-Pavel Datsyuk-Todd Bertuzzi                 

Justin Abdelkader-Darren Helm-Daniel Alfredsson

Tomas Tatar-Riley Sheahan-Tomas Jurco

Drew Miller-Joakim Andersson-Gustav Nyquist

Jonathan Ericsson-Niklas Kronwall

Danny DeKeyser-Kyle Quincey

Brian Lashoff-Brendan Smith

If these are the exact lines, then I am not a fan of Nyquist playing on the 4th line. I want him to see more ice time with the way he skates and the way he plays. Fast skater, gritty, smart with the puck and high potential. Give him more ice time Babs.

The Wings are going up against the Canadians in a huge game tonight. 6 points behind them in the standings and the Gold Medal winning goalie that had tournament stats of 5-0 with a .59 GAA (Goals Against Average).

Get em Burt.

I hate how Babcock sticks the 5th liners (Cleary, Bertuzzi, and even Franzen) with Datsyuk or Zetterberg to make sure they have no offensive impact. Put Nyquist on the grind line? Another waste...

Remember when Nyquist started the season in the minors....

John- I completely know what you mean. I don't expect Cleary or Bertuzzi back after this year. Nyquist has so much talent I have no clue why he is on the fourth line. Who scored the game winner last night? Get that goon Franzen off the top line.

Eric- You know how I feel about Nyquist being kept in the minors for half the year. Such a waste.
