Z can just rest. He plays always great even without any practise...

Zetterberg confirms he's playing Sunday in Washington. So it appears no changes to lineup

Brendan Savage ‏@BrendanSavage 24m
Zetterberg had day off, will play Sunday in Washington says Babcock.

Chuck Pleiness ‏@wingsfrontman 29m
Babcock says Z was given day off. Will play Sunday in Washington. Howard will start in goal.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

The old guys should get days off as much as they want.

 

[YostisHome]

No Cleary again! YAHHHH!!!

 

[LarKing]

No Cleary again! YAHHHH!!!

You're just begging for somebody to go down and Cleary in with this

 

[mindfly]

When was the last time Z practiced? He just plays games, how fun

 

[icKx]

Z supposed to be franchise player, and we in here talkin' bout practice?

haha never gets old

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

i suspect no datsyuk tomorrow but he will play monday against vancouver, no way he plays in back to back games and why bother flying out of detroit for just one game after the time he has missed

i say he plays monday and the final two after that

 

[JPE123]

Guys like Z, Alfie, Dats etc get more value out of rest at this point in the season than practice.

 

[Frk It]

No Cleary again! YAHHHH!!!

Do we know this for sure?

 

[silkyjohnson50]

I still can't get over the fact that Cleary is getting benched despite the fact that 7, I repeat 7 forwards are currently in the lineup that weren't on opening night. That's simply amazing to me.

If we get into the playoffs. He'll be on the ice for the first face off of the 1st period of the 1st game.

 

[RedHawkDown]

The more we celebrate Cleary being benched without confirmation, the more we tempt fate.

Lol classic I can even hear him say that.

 

[Heaton]

No lineup changes = confirmation.

 

[chances14]

Be nice to get at least a goal. Haven't scored a goal on the road in 3 games

Silver lining= Cleary benched Bout time eh Kenny?

That's on Babcock, he's the one who picks whom to play and there's no bigger fan of Dan Cleary than Mike Babcock. The only time Holland really gets involved is when Babcock tries to bench a kid.

"But Kenneeeeeeh!!!", I know.
