Datsyuk (upper body) is practicing Friday, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports. Datsyuk was expected to return for Thursday's game against the Bruins but ultimately didn't end up playing. He now hopes to be back for Saturday's game against the Wild, and it seems he has a decent chance to suit up. Meanwhile, both Tomas Jurco (upper body) and Erik Cole (upper body) were absent from Friday's practice.
