Datsyuk a game-time decision Tuesday; Franzen on short-term IR; Howard starting | Red Wings Front
All signs are pointing to Datsyuk making his season debut on Tuesday. The Wings temporarily postponed having to make a decision on who to move/waive in order to make room for Datsyuk by placing Franzen on short-term IR. All this does is give Holland another week to decide whether he wants to ship Cleary or Jurco down to Grand Rapids.
