Datsyuk (shoulder) could play Tuesday against the Canadiens, Chuck Pleiness of Macomb Daily reports. Datsyuk was targeting October 25 for a return, but it sounds like he's a safe bet to be back in the lineup Tuesday at this point. The star center practiced on his usual line Monday, and even took his usual place on the top power play unit. Keep an eye out for a confirmation update before Tuesday's game, but Datsyuk's return should be imminent.
