Who's not on the ice ... Jonathan Ericsson, who has been sent back to Grand Rapids; Darren McCarty, who has injured ribs; and Tomas Holmstrom, who's having an MRI on his sore groin this morning.
Brett Lebda, who was out with illness over the weekend, is back on the ice. He's one of eight defensemen.
Defense pairings ...
Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Stuart
Lebda-Lilja
Meech-Chelios
The forward lines are the same with Jiri Hudler skating in Holmstrom's sport on Pavel Datsyuk's right side.
