Datsyuk (shoulder) was placed on short-term injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Sept. 22. While Datsyuk is likely to start the season on injured reserve, the move will allow the Red Wings to activate him as soon as he's deemed ready to return to game action. At the moment, Datsyuk doesn't look to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from the separated right shoulder, as he was limited to non-contact practice Friday for the second straight day, according to MLive.com's Ansar Khan. He's projected to return around mid- to late-October.
