Ansar Khan reports that the Wings are going to give Datsyuk another game off to recover from the mysterious upper body injury. Apparently, he’s “close,” which is about as vague as it gets.

Brad May will be back in the lineup against Colorado, though, at the expense of Kris Draper or Kirk Maltby, apparently.

Also, Chris Osgood will start, rather than Jimmy Howard, who was previously meant to get either the Kings game or tomorrow’s. The Buffalo fiasco screwed that up.
