-- Dominik Hasek will start in goal Sunday in Buffalo. "We've got to get him going," said coach Mike Babcock.
-- Defenseman Brian Rafalski (groin) had another good day of practice with no ill effects. He will travel to Buffalo, but won't play. Rafalski said that he will be back in the lineup Wednesday unless he has a setback.
"It's all just conditioning now," said Rafalski. "Everything feels fine."
