Ansar Khan writes that Chris Osgood will be in net against the Sharks, saying it’s a case of Ozzie being rewarded for playing better than Hasek.
He also reports that Nick Lidstrom (ribs) and Henrik Zetterberg (hip flexor) did not practice Wednesday and are therefore questionable for the San Jose game. He takes Babcock’s word for it when the coach told him he hadn’t really thought about possible lines if Hank can’t go.
If Zetterberg does sit, look for Mikael Samuelsson to return or for the Wings to go with 11 forwards. I doubt they’d call up a Griffin and fly him out to California. If Lidstrom can’t go, we’ll likely see Derek Meech’s regular season debut.
Losing either one of those players to injury would be huge. Losing both would really suck. Hopefully they got the rest they needed to be ready to go. We should find out sometime before the game.
