When Johan Franzen returns on Tuesday, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk will be split up.
Zetterberg and Datsyuk will start on the top line on Saturday with Toms Holmstrom, with Todd Bertuzzi on the second unit alongside Valterri Filppula and Daniel Cleary. Look for Filppula to be the odd man out of the top six. "Listen, we've played Homer with Pav and Z through the year and it's not like they've been on fire by any means," coach Mike Babcock said. "When we get Mule (Franzen) back, I don't foresee them playing together. I think we'll split them up and play Pav with Mule." Probable combinations will be Franzen, Datsyuk and Holmstrom; and Bertuzzi, Zetterberg and Cleary. Source: Detroit News
