Datsyuk (groin) is unlikely to play in Sunday's game, especially with a five-day break after the matchup with the Lightning, the Detroit Free Press reports. With the tendency for groin injuries to linger and with Datsyuk getting up in years, it would be unlikely for the Red Wings to risk his health Sunday. He should return for Friday's game with the Blackhawks barring a setback.
