Tomorrow, the Detroit Red Wings will look different, as Head Coach Todd McLellan has reconstructed the lineup in the midst of a two-game losing streak.

While this shouldn’t come as a surprise, the Red Wings’ lineup will look different against the Blackhawks. The team has lost the last two games against the New York Rangers (4-1) and the Vegas Golden Knights (1-0).

He has decided to switch up the lines today, as we’ve seen him remove sophomore Marco Kasper from the 2nd-line, moving J.T. Compher up into that 2C spot, while Kasper has been moved to LW3.

The only major move that happened to the 1st-line is that Lucas Raymond has returned to his original spot next to Dylan Larkin on the right, while Emmitt Finnie still plays on the LW1, showing the kind of confidence McLellan has in the rookie.

We’ll see how the new look Red Wing performs tomorrow against a hot Chicago Blackhawks team, who are 4th in the Central Division.
