Defenseman Brett Lebda traveled with the Red Wings, but won't play in Game 3, Monday. His injured ankle has kept him out of the past three games. Lebda said that practicing once before this series led to a setback and that he won't take the ice again until Tuesday at the earliest to test it. He's hoping for a return in Game 5.
"If this was the regular season, I'd probably be out four to six weeks without any question," said Lebda. "It's just a matter of getting it healthy again just to the point that I don't make a mistake because of it."
