WEDNESDAY'S GAME:Tyler Bertuzzi's 2 points not enough as Red Wings fall to Washington, 4-2
Game notes: The Wings will likely still be splitting their roster in two for this first game of an Original Six home-and-home with the Leafs, with Game 2 coming in Toronto on Saturday night and wrapping up the exhibition schedules for both squads. In net, look for Alex Nedeljkovic to handle the whole game after Ville Husso worked Wednesday's loss to the Washington Capitals. Nedeljkovic stopped all 14 shots he faced in last Saturday's loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in just under 40 minutes of work. For the Leafs, they're working out a goal-share situation as well after losing Jack Campbell to Edmonton in free agency; it'll be either Ilya Samsonov or Matt Murray in net. Murray stopped 29 of 30 shots in Toronto's 5-1 win over Montreal on Monday.
