Coach Mike Babcock confirmed that the Wings will again be without Captain Nick Lidstrom and forwards Pavel Datsyuk and Kris Draper. Also, the Blackhawks saw goalie Nikolai Khabibulin get some practice this morning but Martin Havlat, Andrew Ladd, and Sammy Pahlsson all sat out of the morning skate. Pahlsson and Ladd will likely play but Havlat is still a question after two consecutive big hits in Game 3 and Game 4.
The Red Wings will likely return with the same lines as Game 5 while the Blackhawks will likely see some changes.
Here are the lines from yesterday's practice, thanks to Ansar Khan of mlive.com
| Franzen | Zetterberg | Hudler |
| Holmstrom | Filppula | Hossa |
| Cleary | Helm | Samuelsson |
| Leino | Abdelkader | Maltby |
| Ericsson | Rafalski | |
| Kronwall | Stuart | |
| Lebda | Chelios |
Despite Chris Osgood leaving early from Game 4, he will be in net tonight after recovering from dehydration problems.
I'll post updates on Ladd, Pahlsson, and Khabibulin as they come about.

Dang it!
I was really hoping we would get Nick and Pav back for this game, Chicago is not going to go down without a fight. Although, I am confident in the current lineup. What’s up with Drapes? He missed the beginning of the playoffs with a body injury, now he’s out with a groin injury.
