Datsyuk skated on a line with Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader in practice this morning, but does not know if he will be ready to play in the season opener on Thursday. "I'm on my way," Datsyuk said afterwards. "(I) don't (want to) say it's too close, but (it's) a good feeling. I need to skate more and see how I feel. I need more contact and see how it feels from contact."
