Draper In, Datsyuk Possible
There will be some changes to the Red Wings lineup in game #4 on Thursday. Kris Draper will play. Red Wings coach, Mike Babcock said he wasn’t sure which player he would sit, but Draper is definately back from an upper body injury. He’s been healthy enough to play, but as Babcock said, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
Pavel Datsyuk skated with the team today, and stayed on the ice afterward. He labored with the foot injury at times, but he did look much better than he has the previous two days in Pittsburgh. Ken Holland told me Datsyuk would be a game time decision. He also said, “Datsyuk will play at some point in this series.” So he’s getting close.
