Abdelkader missed Thursday's practice with what coach Mike Babcock called a "maintenance day," MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports. Babcock said that Abdelkader would be available for Friday's game against the Maple Leafs, but he didn't confirm the winger would necessarily be in the lineup. Neither Stephen Weiss or Dan Cleary have seen the ice this season, so the weekend back-to-back set could present a good opportunity for either player to spell Abdelkader for a game.
