The Red Wings enter action as +116 road underdogs against the Buffalo Sabres.

Greenway did not play the last game for the Sabres due to an undisclosed ailment but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 27-year-old Greenway has 21 points (9G / 12A) in 52 games this season. In a corresponding move, Lukas Rousek will be a healthy scratch.
