The Blueshirts will try and get veteran netminder Jaroslav Halak back on track looking for his first win of the season.

Halak, 37, is 0-3-0 for the season and last played on October 26 in a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders. In his career, Halak is 7-8-2 against Detroit with a 3.53 GAA and an .876 SV%.

With Filip Chytil’s return to action after going down against the Columbus Blue Jackets two weeks ago, he will return to center the third line. Jimmy Vesey will play the left flank while Barclay Goodrow slides to the right.

Chytil, 23, has 3 points (2G-1A) in 6 games.

Ryan Reaves will likely be a healthy scratch for the second time this season.

Here’s today’s project lineup:

  • Kreider – Zibanejad – Kakko
  • Panarin – Trocheck – Lafrenière
  • Vesey – Chytil – Goodrow
  • Blais – Carpenter – Gauthier
  • Hajek – Fox
  • Miller – Trouba
  • Jones – Schneider
  • Halak
  • Shesterkin
