Jonatan Berggren - Assist in returnBerggren logged an assist and one shot on net in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
ImpactBerggren returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the previous two games, replacing Christian Fischer on the fourth line, and contributed immediately. He fed an open Joe Veleno at the corner of the net for the game's first goal six minutes into the first period. It was the third helper of the season for Berggren, who had gone six straight outings without a point prior to being a healthy scratch.

Joe Veleno - Tallies againVeleno scored a goal on two shots and had one hit in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Montreal.
ImpactVeleno gave the Red Wings the lead six minutes into the game, redirecting a feed from fellow fourth-liner Jonatan Berggren. It was the third straight game with a goal and four consecutive with a point for Veleno. It's a remarkable spasm of offense from a forward, who had just one marker through his first 26 outings.

Alex Lyon - Taken down by HabsLyon allowed five goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
ImpactLyon was given a 1-0 lead six minutes into the game, before Montreal scored three times in five minutes to finish out the first period. This was Lyon's second start since returning from a lower-body injury, and he looks rusty. The goalie has allowed nine goals with a .790 save percentage in those two starts. The Red Wings return home to face St. Louis on Monday.
