It looks like Chris Chelios is back out of the lineup after his season debut, Saturday, and Brett Lebda is back in after being a healthy scratch. With Chelios back from a broken leg, the Wings now have eight defensemen.

"Meechy's played up front and on the back," said Coach Mike Babcock. "I haven't spent a whole bunch of time (thinking) about it. We don’t tend to rotate our players. The best guys tend to play. And that's what we'll keep going with."

Here's how they are skating this morning ...

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

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

Osgood (starts)
Conklin

Also of note is that the forward lines are staying the same as Saturday with Datsyuk and Zetterberg together. The defense pairings are back to what they normally are after being shuffled in Phoenix.
