Jimmy Howard will start in net, Sunday afternoon, in Dallas with Chris Osgood backing him up. Dominik Hasek (hip flexor) won't make the two-game road trip that includes a Monday contest in Denver.
Defenseman Brian Rafalski (groin) doesn't think he'll be able to play Sunday, but will test his injury to see if it's possible. Niklas Kronwall is out for the both game of the trip, according to The Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness.
Kyle Quincey remains with the Red Wings.
