Russian coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is optimistic that Pavel Datsyuk will suit up in the team's preliminary opener versus Slovenia on Thursday. "I don't think it's a serious problem, dangerous," Bilyaletdinov said through an interpreter. "I think he's going to be OK." Datsyuk didn't practice Monday with Team Russia. He returned to Detroit's lineup from what is believed to be a knee injury just before the Olympic break, but he didn't get much ice time in either contest. Datsyuk is projected to play between Alexander Radulov and Ilya Kovalchuk when he's healthy.
