General manager Ken Holland said at the NHL's media day that Johan Franzen (headaches) is doubtful for tomorrow's Game 1. Holland said that Franzen will see a doctor tomorrow for an evaluation.

"We expect him to play in this series," said Holland. "He's close."

Coach Mike Babcock noted that Franzen looked good today in his first practice in weeks.

"Looks to me like he's ready, but that's why I don't make those decisions," said Babcock. "This morning was a big morning (for Franzen)."
