Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom said it took him a few days to get over the flu that caused him to miss last Wednesday's game at Montreal. It was the first game the future Hall of Famer had missed since the 2008-09 season. "I got off the ice before the skate was over and it got worse and worse that day," he said. "It took me a few days to get over it. I guess the break came with pretty good timing."
