Datsyuk (groin), along with all of the other Red Wings' skaters, was on the ice during practice on Wednesday, MLive's Ansar Khan reports. Datsyuk has missed the Red Wings' last two games, but is hopeful to return for their next game on Friday against the Blackhawks. Before he got injured, the 36-year-old center had put up good offensive numbers, scoring five goals and five assists in eight games played this season.
