Status report
The Red Wings did not hold a morning skate following a 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday. ... Hellberg will start after Husso allowed five goals on 25 shots Monday. ... Lindstrom will return if the defenseman is cleared to play by game time; if he plays, Edvinsson could be returned to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League. ... Binnington is eligible to return after serving a two-game suspension for roughing and unsportsmanlike conduct against Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman during an 8-5 loss Wednesday, but will back up Hofer, who will make his third straight start. ... Greiss will be a healthy scratch as the third goalie. ... Krug did not participate in the morning skate but will play after his wife gave birth to the couple's child. ... Neighbours will return after missing 13 games with an upper-body injury.
