Red Wings coach Mike Babcock thinks that Nicklas Lidstrom (ankle) is ready to return based on Friday's practice. That's great news, but Lidstrom isn't ready to commit to anything yet. "Still day-to-day," Lidstrom said. "We have to wait and see how it feels after having a good practice today. We don't want it to get any worse. I'm going to skate tomorrow morning." Detroit's next game is on Saturday.
