-- It looks like the Wings will be using the same lineup as they did in the first two games. Coach Mike Babcock said Sunday that he would start Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg on the same line, but that's likely to change as the game progresses.
-- Kirk Maltby skated for the fourth time. His hamstring is limiting him, but he's able to keep up his conditioning. Maltby said after the skate that he won't likely be ready for the first round, but probably will be back on the ice in the second round.
-- The Grand Rapids kids are up and had their first practice. With small locker rooms on the road, the kids are in a separate room than the Red Wing regulars.
