Notes:

- Right winger Teemu Selanne is out 4-6 weeks with a broken hand.

- Right winger Joffrey Lupul will be out again. This time it isn't his back whatsoever, but one of his legs. However, it's possible his new injury was caused by his previous back injury. He is questonable for tomorrow's game against Columbus.

- Left winger Kyle Calder's eye injury has healed. He was questionable hours ago but will replace Lupul in the line up tonight after missing the last six games.

- Center Ryan Carter is out with a broken foot until late December.

- The Ducks healthy scratches should be Steve Eminger and Evgeny Artyukhin.

Red Wings line up:

Pavel Datsyuk - Henrik Zetterberg - Tomas Holmstrom

Ville Leino - Justin Abdelkader - Todd Bertuzzi
Kris Draper - Darren Helm - Patrick Eaves
Brad May - Drew Miller - Kirk Maltby

Nicklas Lidstrom - Brian Rafalski
Brad Stuart - Brett Lebda
Derek Meech - Jonathan Ericsson

Jimmy Howard (Chris Osgood)

according to the Red Wings board on HFboards.com

Notes:

- Defenseman Niklas Kronwall is out with a MCL sprain until late December - late January.

- Center Valtteri Filppula has a wrist injury and is out for the rest of December at least.

- Winger Daniel Cleary has a shoulder injury and should be back mid-late January.

- Winger Jason Williams will probably miss another month with an injured ankle.

- Defenseman Andreas Lilja has been out the whole season so far with a concussion.
