Return of Lebda

UPDATE: Coach Mike Babcock just confirmed after practice that Lebda is back in the lineup alongside Lilja for tomorrow's game and Meech will be a healthy scratch.

"One way to look at it if you're Meech is say, 'This is pretty unfair, why am I out'," said Babcock. "Well, I'm just changing. If I had another forward ..."

Also, Osgood will start in net in Tampa.

The Wings are working with the same lines they used in last night's loss to Pittsburgh ...

Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Hossa
Filppula-Zetterberg-Franzen
Hudler-Draper-Samuelsson
Maltby-Kopecky-McCarty

Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Stuart
Lebda-Lilja
Meech

The early indicator is that Brett Lebda will be back in the lineup Thursday night in Tampa with Derek Meech a healthy scratch. Meech is slotted as the seventh defenseman at practice today, working in with the other pairings.

Lebda sucks, they should give up on him.

I'd take him over Lilja, oh wait they're on the same line.

It's like a free 5 on 3.
