Fil taking part in drills
UPDATE: Filppula said that he's not playing in Wednesday's game against Chicago, but is scheduled to return to the lineup Dec. 26, if he doesn't have any setbacks. Mattias Ritola hasn't played center since his days of youth hockey, so the line combinations for Wednesday are still up in the air.
"I've got one more day to figure that out," said coach Mike Babcock.
Also of note ... Jimmy Howard gets the start in net, Wednesday.

Hey Bruce, are any of the other injured players skating at practice? I know a week or 2 ago it was reported all of them skated a little, any updates on any of them?
Wow, who would have thought at the beginning of the year that Draper-Helm-Eaves would be the second line?
Nobody else is skating, at least regularly.
