11/21 Lineup Update
On the Wings — ... It’s possible that the goaltending situation could be heading for a controversial patch, as Ansar Khan reports that Ty Conklin will start versus the Flames. It seems Mike Babcock may not feel Chris Osgood’s play improved enough over his break last week. Osgood will play Monday in Vancouver, however, so he’s not too deep in the doghouse; he’s just not the automatic starter at the moment. With the Wings shaping up defensively, Osgood needs to be careful to improve apace or he may be charting faceoffs more than he’d like. ...

Kronwall In. Homer? Not So Much
Kuklas Korner — Via Deep Digger captain Ansar Khan(!), Tomas Holmstrom did not practice, still bothered by back spasms, and coach Mike Babcock said he will not play Saturday against the Flames. Tomas Kopecky takes his place on the top line. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall practiced and said his twisted right ankle feels much better. He will return to the lineup. Also...Derek Meech moves up to a forward position, on the fourth line with Draper and McCarty.
