EDGE Analysis

Despite the encouraging sign of taking rushes with the top line during Monday's practice, Datsyuk will not be ready to go for Tuesday's matchup. Datsyuk seems to be making progress toward a return to the lineup within the next week, and there is no reason to believe that he will be anything but his normally magic self whenever he does return.
