Pavel Datsyuk (knee) announced on Twitter Monday night that he's "hoping to play soon," but Detroit GM Ken Holland said a determination on the talented center's status hasn't been made yet. "At some point between now and Friday my plan was to sit down with Pav and Piet (Van Zant, Red Wings trainer) and see how he's feeling, I haven't really asked him," Holland said. "I have my fingers crossed the time off and the things they did with him are going to give us a positive result. I was happy to see him (Datsuk, skate). He told me Friday he was going on the ice Monday. That was encouraging. But at the same time he knows we have to test it out." Datsyuk has been sidelined since Feb. 27.
