KEY GAME INFORMATION
DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 34-40-8, 76 points. Last in the Metropolitan Division, missed the playoffs.
COACH: John Tortorella, second year, 34-32-8
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, D Scott Harrington, LW Pierre-Luc Dubois.
LOST: RW Rene Bourque, RW Jared Boll, D Fedor Tyutin, D Justin Falk, LW Kerby Rychel.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Brandon Saad. Acquired in a trade with Chicago before last season, the 23-year-old Saad scored 31 goals and added 22 assists for 53 points, all career highs. He and center Boone Jenner were among the few bright spots in the team's dismal season last year. That pair, along with right wing Cam Atkinson will make a potent first line.
OUTLOOK: Columbus made no blockbuster deals in the off-season, meaning it is starting the season with the same group of players that made it one of the NHL's sad sacks last year. But team president John Davidson believes his players will perform up to their potential under Tortorella, who replaced Todd Richards after seven games last season. He's also ready to tap into the talented pool of players that helped the Lake Erie Monsters win the AHL's Calder Cup. A fully healthy Sergei Bobrovsky in the net will be a huge boost. Still, everything will have to click just right to get the Blue Jackets to the playoffs.
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 48-26-8, 104 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division. Beat San Jose Sharks in six games to win Stanley Cup.
COACH: Mike Sullivan (second season, fourth NHL season).
ADDED: D David Warsofsky.
LOST: G Jeff Zatkoff, F Beau Bennett, D Ben Lovejoy.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Sidney Crosby. Less than a year removed from a prolonged slump, the two-time MVP is on a major roll as he enters his 12th season. Crosby won the Conn Smythe Trophy while leading the Penguins to the franchise's fourth Cup and followed it up by being named the MVP of the World Cup of Hockey while leading Team Canada to a title. He averaged 1.32 points after Sullivan took over for Mike Johnston in mid-December, a pace that would have won him the scoring title over the course of a full season.
OUTLOOK: The Penguins did little to tinker with a formula that led them back to the top for the first time since 2009. Crosby and teammate Evgeni Malkin remain the heart of the franchise and there's plenty of young legs (and a few older ones) in key supporting roles. The biggest question will be how the goaltending situation gets settled between Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray, who backstopped the Penguins to the Cup after Fleury suffered a concussion late in the regular season.
PREVIEW
Banged-up Wings head to Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH -- As the Detroit Red Wings begin a three-game road trip Saturday against Pittsburgh at PPG Paints Arena, it almost seems as if for every player in the traveling party, there's one who remains behind because of injury.

The latest to get hurt is power forward Justin Abdelkader, who left Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to Florida. Friday, the Detroit Free Press reported that he will be out at least two weeks because of a sprained medial collateral knee ligament.

Detroit has at least one point in five games in a row but has lost three straight as the injuries that are piling up are taking a toll.

"The guys who come in do a good job, but we're mixing and changing the lines," Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "We had a good thing going here. We stuck together with the lines for a bit, had some chemistry in a lot of lines, but it's hard when guys go down and you have to move around a little bit."

Abdelkader, who had four points in six games before he got hurt, had been playing with Frans Nielsen and Luke Glendening. Already out with injuries before he got hurt were goalie Jimmy Howard, forwards Andreas Athanasiou, Darren Helm and Tyler Bertuzzi, and defensemen Alexey Marchenko and Brendan Smith.

It's likely all will miss the road trip.

The Red Wings also have hurt themselves with penalties, 20 minutes worth over their past two games -- and Abdelkader is one of the team's prime penalty killers.

"It's going to be long nights if we keep doing that," Niklas Kronwall said. "We have to play a lot more disciplined and a lot more mature all over the ice, really."

It would likely especially help to avoid putting Pittsburgh on the power play.

The Penguins are on the opposite path in terms of injuries -- winger Chris Kunitz and defenseman Derrick Pouliot appear close to returning from lower-body injuries -- and the recent return of winger Patrik Hornqvist provides a missing dimension on the power play.

Hornqvist scored Pittsburgh's first five-on-three goal of the season Thursday in a 6-2 win against Dallas after the Penguins went 0-for-16 on the power play over their previous five games.

Pittsburgh missed Hornqvist's feisty net-front presence while he was out recently for six games because of a concussion.

"He draws attention there and he competes hard," linemate Sidney Crosby said.

Much to the annoyance of opponents. Kunitz plays a similar role, so getting at least one of them back helps.

"I think it's just essential to have that guy that's willing to go there and take a crosscheck and get in the goalie's eyes," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "It makes it really hard on our opponent's goaltender. Sometimes they may make a positional save but they can't control the rebound, and sometimes opportunity presents itself. (Hornqvist is) one of the best. I think he takes pride in it and creates opportunities for other guys around him."

Regardless of who is available for either team, Sullivan sees a similarity in scheme.

"It's another team that likes to play a speed game," he said of the Red Wings. "I expect it to be a fast game at both ends of the rink. Obviously, teams that play a speed game play a pretty good transition game, and Detroit's one of those teams.

"So we're going to have to take care of the puck, make sure we make good decisions coming through the neutral zone, force them to have to defend and expend energy having to defend."
