Henrik Zetterberg did not participate in Saturday's morning skate and might miss tonight's game in Ottawa. He's a game-time decision.
"It's my understanding he's playing tonight," said Detroit coach Mike Babcock. "If not ... we've played without him before. What are you going to do?"
Without Z, here's how the Red Wings practiced ...

Filppula-Datsyuk-Holmstrom
Hudler-Franzen-Samuelsson
Cleary-Draper-Maltby
Drake-Kopecky-Downey
Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Lilja
Lebda-Chelios
Hasek (starts)
Osgood
Ellis (healthy scratch)

Ellis might play on the fourth line with Downey scratched. That's yet to be determined. Both will be scratched if Zetterberg plays.

Here's how the Senators skated this morning ...

Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson
Vermette-Kelly-Donovan
Schubert-McAmmond-Bass
Neil-Fisher-Robitaille
Redden-Corvo
Phillips-Volchenkov
Richardson-Meszaros
Emery (starts)
Gerber

There has, however, been plenty of verbal jockeying between the two coaches about lines. Neither wants to show their hand before the game. Whether Ottawa's big three skate together will be seen. Whether it's Lidstrom and Rafalski or Lidstrom and Kronwall will be seen.
