Coach Joel Quenneville just announced that neither goalie Nikolai Khabibulin nor forward Martin Havlat will play in tonight's Game 5 against Detroit. Khabibulin skated today, but isn't ready to play. He left Game 3 after the second period and hasn't played since.

Cristobal Huet will be in net tonight. He was lifted for part of Game 4 after getting the start in that game.

Colin Fraser will enter the Blackhawks' lineup at center. This will be Fraser's second game of these playoffs.

Quenneville also said that players who didn't take part in the morning skate like Sammy Pahlsson and Andrew Ladd will play tonight.
