Red Wings complete lineup reconstruction 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).

With a record of 9-6-0, Todd McLellan shifted around the lineup to keep the team fresh and competitive.

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 decision to change the lineup has come with the return of Patrick Kane to the team. During the last few games, we've seen a forward like Mason Appleton occupy the top-six, and while proving to be a great substitute for his absence, the new lineup looks quite alarming.

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.

The bottom-six is the least surprising, though, as Michael Rasmussen, James Van Riemsdyk, and Jonatan Berggren have found a home there.

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

We're just fortunate that Patrick Kane has returned to the Detroit Red Wings lineup after a lengthy bout dealing with his injury.
