Lines back to normal

The Wings are on the ice now for the morning skate and they're working out of the line combinations they've used most of the season ...

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

Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Stuart
Lebda-Lilja
Meech (healthy scratch)
Chelios (scratch)

Conklin (starts)
Osgood

The lines had been shuffled during recent practices with Hossa skating with Zetterberg and Cleary. Samuelsson was on a third line with Franzen in the middle. Filppula was up on Datsyuk's line.

I'm not sure why the lines were shuffled for recent practices and put back today. Maybe it was about getting players' attention. Maybe it was just to spice up practice. Maybe it was in preparation for a line shuffling that is still going to happen.
