CHICAGO (AP) --
CHICAGO (AP) - Pavel Datsyuk's scoring has been way down during
the Red Wings' run at another Stanley Cup.
And now the star center and MVP finalist has a sore foot to deal
with headed into Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. Datsyuk
was struck by a puck during Detroit's 3-2 overtime win in Game 2 on
Tuesday night.
Datsyuk missed practice today before the Red Wings departed for
Chicago, but coach Mike Babcock is hoping he can play against the
Blackhawks tomorrow night.
Datsyuk, who had 97 points in the regular season, has scored one
goal in 13 playoff games. But despite his scoring drought, Detroit
leads the series 2-0 and needs just two wins to return to the
Stanley Cup finals.
