So finally some good news coming out of the red wings locker room. All Tomas Holmstrom, Niklas Kronwall,Jason Williams are expected to be back later next week.

Holmstrom has been skating with the team, three times this week with the team. Hopefully he will be able to return to the line up either fri against the preds or sun against the penguins

Kronwall and both williams skated with the team sat but the team had sun off. both are expected to return next week, williams possibly earlier then kronwall.

Hopefully with holmstrom (especially) and williams coming back this will give us that much needed offensive push we have been missing and some better defense with kronwall coming back and maybe we wont be giving up those 2 goal leads like we have been.

*Johan Franzen is expected to meet with trainers sometime this week to see if he will be able to return possibly before the olympic break, i for one hopes he takes his time so he is fresh after the olympic break.
