Nicklas Lidstrom (ankle) is expected to be a game-time call on Saturday. Lidstrom was on the ice Saturday for the sixth consecutive day. "It's slowly been getting better," Lidstrom said. "I think today was better than yesterday. So that's a good sign it's going in the right direction. They want to make sure I have no soreness going on the ice twice in one day. That's why they want me to take warm-ups and go from there." He hasn't played in nearly a month and the Red Wings have struggled without him.
