The Detroit Red Wings are making significant changes to their forward lines in an effort to improve their even strength scoring, which has been underwhelming. Head coach Derek Lalonde has retained one line intact while reshuffling others, notably adding Vladimir Tarasenko to the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.

New combinations include Marco Kasper, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat as the second line, with Tyler Motte stepping in for Joe Veleno. The effectiveness of these new lines will be closely monitored as fans await their debut in the upcoming game.
