One interesting change in the lineup this afternoon as the Red Wings host the Chicago Blackhawks.
Recently signed forward Riley Sheahan, the former 2010 1st-round pick out of Notre Dame, will replace Jan Mursak.
Sheahan has good size (6-foot-2, 200 pounds) and scored 64 points (20 goal, 44 assists) in 114 career games at Notre Dame.
He was impressive, too, while on a short try-out in Grand Rapids.
By the way, Danny Cleary (knee) remains a scratch. Cleary was noticeably limping after the St. Louis game and it’ll be interesting to see how much the knee comes around for the start of the playoffs.
