Datsyuk (groin) will play in Friday's game against the Blackhawks, according to Chuck Pleiness of the Macomb Daily. Datsyuk skated on the Red Wings' second line with Tomas Jurco and Justin Abdelkader during the team's morning skate, and Jurco confirmed after the session that the three would line up together Friday night. Datsyuk, who has tallied five goals and five assists in just eight games this season, will suit up Friday for the first time since Nov. 5.
