Pavel Datsyuk missed practice Thursday before the Red Wings departed for Chicago, but his coach and teammates were hoping he'd be able to go against the Blackhawks tonight.

Datsyuk was struck by a puck during Detroit's 3-2 overtime win in Game 2 on Tuesday night. Maybe is does not matter since Datsyuk has scored just one goal in 13 playoff games.

Osgood, who had 37 saves in Game 2, and the play of Nicklas Lidstrom defensively have made up for lack of goals from their top players. Bet on NHL in the Bodog Sportsbook.

Osgood, who already has been a part of three Stanley Cup winners, is 10-3 so far in the playoffs. Can the Blackhawks get a win in front of the expected wild crowd at the United Center, or will they be one game closer to a summer off?
