Nicklas Lidstrom (ankle) is at least one week away from returning to the Detroit lineup. Lidstrom has missed the last eight games with the ankle injury and has now been ordered by the Red Wings back to Detroit and to stay off skates for the next three-four days. Assuming that he is able to practice and play shortly thereafter, it will still be a week before he is able to return. "I think we're all a little discouraged," GM Ken Holland said. "Nick had the injury (Feb. 25) and the doctors felt it would be about two weeks. But it's not healing as quickly as we felt or hoped."
