No Pavel or Drapes

The Red Wings are on the ice right now for their practice and neither Pavel Datsyuk (foot) nor Kris Draper (groin) are there. Here are the lines they're using ...

Hudler-Zetterberg-Franzen
Holmstrom-Filppula-Hossa
Cleary-Helm-Samuelsson
Leino-Abdelkader-Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Stuart
Ericsson-Lebda

Osgood
Conklin

Note that Jiri Hudler is still on the Zetterberg line, having switched with Dan Cleary in the second period of Game 3.

Also, it looks like Abdelkader will be in for Draper. That means that the Wings could have four players in the lineup tomorrow -- Helm, Abdelkader, Leino, Ericsson -- who spent the vast majority of this season with Grand Rapids. Three of those finished the regular season in the AHL and two didn't come to the Red Wings until the Griffins were eliminated from the playoffs.
