Datsyuk will not play Sunday due to an illness, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unannounced until pregame warmups, the Red Wings will be without their top-line center, but illness shouldn't keep him out too long. The Wings will instead shift Henrik Zetterbertg to center and move Dylan Larkin to the top line, with Riley Sheahan and Gustav Nyquist also cracking into the top six. Expect another update prior to the team's next contest Tuesday in Columbus.
