Red Wings’ Datsyuk Suffering From Sore Foot

Pavel Datsyuk’s status for Game 3 of the 2009 Western Conference Finals remains in questions as he tries to recover from a sore foot. The Detroit Red Wings star center missed practice today before the team headed to Chicago to get ready for tomorrow’s game.
He was injured after his foot was struck by a puck during Detroit’s 3-2 OT win on Tuesday night.
To be honest, despite the fact that Datsyuk is normally really essential in the lineup, he hasn’t been spectacular in the postseason (just one goal and two assists in the 13 playoff games). It’s been a stark contrast to his stellar, 97-point season.
After tomorrow’s morning skate, Datsyuk will be evaluated and, I’m guessing, the team doctors will make a decision about whether he can play. I hope to see him back in the lineup. It sucks to get sidelined during the playoffs.
