Petry will slide back into Detroit's lineup on Thursday as they opt to dress seven defensemen in the absence of Andrew Copp (lower-body). Petry has one goal and nine assists in 29 games this season.

Copp did not practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury and was a game-time decision Thursday vs. Los Angeles. The 29-year-old has struggled to live up to his decently sized contract as he only has five goals, 17 points, 68 SOG, 18 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus in 38 games played in 2023-24.

Lyon will make his fourth consecutive start between the Red Wing crease as he goes for his second-consecutive win after a 24 save (.889 SV%) victory over San Jose in his last start. The 31-year-old started the season as Detroit's third goaltender but has taken over the starting gig due to his strong play and 6-4-0 record, 2.53 GAA and .917 SV%. He will head to Los Angeles to take on the Kings, who have lost three straight games but are 10th in the NHL in goals per game (3.38).

Copp did not practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Los Angeles as the team determines the severity of the ailment. The 29-year-old has struggled to live up to his decently sized contract as he only has five goals, 17 points, 68 SOG, 18 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus in 38 games played in 2023-24.

Talbot will start for the fifth time in the last six games for the Kings when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. The 36-year-old Talbot has lost three of his last four outings (1-2-1), his worst run of the season, but was terrific on Saturday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings are -127 home favourites against a Maple Leafs team that has lost five of their last six games (1-4-1)

Holl was a healthy scratch for the Red Wings' last two games but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday for Jeff Petry. The 31-year-old Holl signed a three-year, $10.2 million contract in the offseason and has provided no goals, four assists, five SOG, 18 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 25 games played this season.

Petry has a goal, nine assists, 34 SOG, 10 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 29 games this year but will be a healthy scratch Thursday as Detroit heads to San Jose. Justin Holl will be brought in after a two-game absence to replace the 36-year-old Petry.

Lyon has struggled since returning from a five-game absence due to an injury but will attempt to get his game in order in a favourable matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Lyon has allowed seven goals on 59 shots (.881 SV%) in his last two games (1-1-0) after posting a .938 SV% in his six games before (4-2-0). The Red Wings, losers of seven of their last nine (2-7-0), are -180 road favourites against a Sharks club that has lost eight straight (0-8-0).

Talbot will take the crease for the second half of the Kings' back-to-back as they head to Vegas on Thursday. The 36-year-old signed a one-year contract in the offseason and has been worth every penny as he has posted a 14-6-2 record, 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%. He will take on the ice cold Vegas Golden Knights, who have lost four straight games but are still 11th in the NHL in goals per game (3.33).
