Status report
Sandin did not make the trip after the defenseman was injured on a hit by Ottawa Senators forward Parker Kelly at the end of the first period of a 3-2 overtime loss Sunday; he will be replaced by Iorio in the lineup. ... Oshie, who has missed four games, will be a game-time decision; if the forward is able to play, he would replace Sgarbossa in the lineup. ... Lindgren will make his 12th start in 14 games. ... Johansen, a defenseman, was recalled from Hershey of the American Hockey League on Monday. ... Seider missed the Red Wings morning skate becuase of illness, but coach Derek Lalonde hopes to have him available to play. ... Lyon will make his fifth straight start. ... Husso, a goalie who has been out since Feb. 13, was loaned to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League for conditioning.
