The most notable addition to the second unit was 6-6 Michael Rasmussen at the net front, a spot he’s familiar with but hasn’t played much while with the Red Wings. Vladimir Tarasenko was moved from the flank to the bumper, flanked by Alex DeBrincat and Jonatan Berggren. Seider was at the point.

Thirty-four former Detroit Red Wings made opening night rosters across the NHL, including some big names like Robby Fabbri, Tyler Bertuzzi and Gustav Nyquist

The Red Wings have pushed back the start time of their season opener by one hour because the Tigers are home and playing in the ALDS earlier that day.

The game, originally scheduled for 7 p.m., now will begin an hour later due to Game 4 of the American League Division Series being held at Comerica Park on Thursday, which starts at 6:08 p.m., between the Tigers and Cleveland Guardians.
