-- Tomas Holmstrom couldn't practice today because he tweaked his abdominals. He's not going to play Sunday.
-- Brett Lebda is also out of the lineup Sunday and didn't practice today because he was ill.
-- Valtteri Filppula practiced and is good to go, Sunday, despite a sore thigh.
-- Nicklas Lidstrom is on track to play Sunday, unless he feels soreness in the morning. If Lidstrom plays, either Derek Meech or Jonathan Ericsson will be scratched. Coach Mike Babcock wouldn't say which one, but did say that it would be one of those two. Both will play if Lidstrom cannot.
-- Darren McCarty has his own locker stall. His rib injury, however, kept him out of practice today and won't allow him to be in the lineup Sunday.
