The Detroit Red Wings (0-1) play at home tonight against the Torobnto Maple Leafs (1-0)

Where: Little Caesars Arena

When: 7 p.m.

TV/Radio: FanDuel Sports Network/97.1 FM

Hot: Fans after Thursday’s horror show against Montreal. John Gibson allowed five goals on 13 shots in his Detroit debut, and a team trying to end its playoff drought was booed off the ice.

Spotlight: Cam Talbot will be in the net for the Wings. Jonatan Berggren and Jacob Bernard-Docker are in the lineup tonight. Elmer Soderblom and Travis Harmonic are out.

Absence: James van Riemsdyk was activated on Friday, with Eric Gustafsson going to Grand Rapids. JVR likely will make his Detroit debut next week.

Story: The Red Wings are trying to avoid another slow start to the season. Tonight’s game is the first of a home-and-home, with the Wings at Toronto on Monday (Thanksgiving Day in Canada) for a 2 p.m. game. That time was moved up from the previously announced 4 p.m. start due to the Toronto Blue Jays playing in the ALCS that night.

Story: The Maple Leafs got a win in the opener against one hated foe in Montreal on Wednesday, and they take on another ancient rival tonight with Detroit. The Leafs have been missing goalie Joseph Woll. who is away from the team for personal reasons. Bobby McCann, who was in coach Craig Berube’s doghouse at the beginning of last season, had a stellar effort against the Habs, scoring 90 seconds into the contest.
