Wings v. Oil

Matt over at On the Wings gets the festivities started with his Gameday preview.

Their leading goal-scorer is Ryan Smyth, who stands at the “when pigs fly” end of the Wings’ trade options spectrum. He scored his 30th goal last night and notched two assists.

Dwayne Roloson played last night and had 28 saves for his fourth shutout this season, but the AP suggests that Jussi Markkanen may play tonight.
…
Dominik Hasek will start tonight, but will not play tomorrow…Chris Osgood will be in net instead. I personally don’t have a problem any more with them going with Dom the first night because it’s all about keeping him healthy. The team doesn’t get a full workout tomorrow and that’s part of Dom’s pregame routine that is designed to prevent injury, and if he can’t go through that, it’s better if he doesn’t play.
