DETROIT -- Top prospect Dylan Larkin will get another opportunity to play on the top line tonight for the Detroit Red Wings as they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins in a preseason game at Consol Energy Center (7 p.m., no TV or radio).
Larkin will center a line with Gustav Nyquist and Justin Abdelkader, the spot usually occupied by Henrik Zetterberg, who isn't making the trip. He's not injured, he's skating with the second (non-playing) group today.
Larkin has two points in three preseason games -- he scored a pair of goals in last Thursday's 6-1 win against the Penguins.
Petr Mrazek is expected to play the entire game in goal for the Red Wings (3-0-2). The Penguins are 3-3.
The audio of the game will be streamed on Detroitredwings.com by play-by-play announcer Ken Kal.
Here are the Red Wings' lines and defense pairs:
Justin Abdelkader-Dylan Larkin-Gustav Nyquist
Johan Franzen-Riley Sheahan-Luke Glendening
Tomas Jurco-Tomas Nosek-Landon Ferraro
Tyler Bertuzzi-Andreas Athanasiou-Anthony Mantha
Danny DeKeyser-Brendan Smith
Robbie Russo-Nick Jensen
Xavier Ouellet-Ryan Sproul
