Status report
The Red Wings will use the same lineup from their 4-3 win at the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, including Gibson starting consecutive games for the first time since a string of three straight last month (Nov. 9-15). … Pettersson, the Canucks’ top center, won’t play and is still “being evaluated,” coach Adam Foote said after he was a late scratch against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. … Hoglander will make his season debut following a preseason injury that required surgery. … Blueger, a center who hasn’t played since Oct. 19, had a setback that put him back “pretty much back to square one,” Foote said. He isn’t expected to return before Christmas.
