The Detroit Red Wings are stocked with great veterans. Yet it was a Swiss rookie and a kid playing his first NHL game who helped them avoid an 0-2 start. Damien Brunner scored in the fourth round of the shootout to lead the Red Wings to a 4-3 victory over Columbus on Monday night before 19,206, the largest regular-season crowd at Nationwide Arena in the Blue Jackets' 11-plus seasons. ''I felt good. I've been in a lot of shootouts in Switzerland for...

PLAYER NEWS

Red Wings Jakub Kindl (DET - Defense) News: Kindl scored his first career playoff goal, which stood as the eventual game-winner in Thursday's victory over Chicago. [+] Impact: For a player who struggled at times to stay in the regular blue-line rotation last season, Kindl's emergence over the course of the year has been a huge boost to the Wings as they had to adjust to life without Nicklas Lidstrom heading up their blue-line corps this season. Although his offensive contributions are not elite, Kindl's expanded role put him on pace for a 26-point season if projected over a typical 82-game slate. (RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) Jimmy Howard (DET - Goaltender) News: Howard stopped all 28 shots he faced Thursday against Chicago in a winning effort. [+] Impact: Corey Crawford played well at the other end, but the Wings were able to find the back of the net in the second period for the eventual game-winning tally before Daniel Cleary found an empty net in the final minute of the third period. Although the Wings have a 3-1 lead in the series, Howard needs to stay sharp with the return to Chicago for Game 5 on Saturday. (RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) Darren Helm (DET - Center) News: Helm (back) will not return during the Red Wings' second round series against the Blackhawks but hasn't given up hope of coming back later on if the team advances, MLive.com reports. [+] Impact: A setback with Helm's injury, suffered two-and-a-half weeks ago in practice, led the Wings to decide to give the 26-year-old an extended rest. He said he feels pretty good and thinks he could get onto the ice right now, but added that that method hasn't worked for him so they're trying a new approach. Also, Helm said there has not been any discussion of having the back operated on this summer. (RotoWire - Wed. May 22, 2013)

Blue Jackets Curtis McElhinney (CLS - Goaltender) News: McElhinney signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Blue Jackets, the Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline reports. [+] Impact: McElhinney spent the 2012-13 season with AHL Springfield, going 29-16-3 with a 2.32 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.
