Based on the skate it looks like John Ludvig and Boko Imama will be scratched.
Tristan Jarry will be making his season debut in net.
Per Mike Sullivan, Tristan Jarry will start tonight’s in Detroit and is scheduled to split the game with Filip Larsson.

The opponent tonight isn’t bringing out all of their top players for their home game, but there will be some fire power available to the Red Wings tonight from this top line.
#RedWings lines at the skate:
DeBrincat-Larkin-Kane
Brandsegg-Nygard-Veleno-Mazur
Motte-Kasper-Watson
Rychlovsky-Shine-Soderblom
7 D are rotating, so not sure who’s in or out:
Maatta-Gustafsson
Johansson-Holl
Wallinder-Rafferty
Edvinsson

The Penguins said a stream will be available on their website, but the game is not being shown on Bally Sports Detroit, nor FSG Pittsburgh. We’ll see how that goes but there might be no TV broadcast at all. At which point we can all act like the old days and go to the radio on 105.9 The X or their website for an audio only version of the action.
Pittsburgh has another game tomorrow and it will be an upgrade on today. FSG Pittsburgh has the game locally, and nationally it will be on NHL Network. The lineup will be practically all of the NHL team tomorrow night as well.
