Detroit vs. Everybody
Zetterberg has missed 11 games, and is still leading the team in points. Datsyuk missed 7 and is one point behind.

I'd assume. I'm guessing he is where Andersson is, and Andersson takes Glendening's spot, though Glendening is still up with the team.

Happy camper!
**** no Helm either...
So the only one back is Zetterberg?
Looks like many players will miss the game at the big house

Helm and Nyquist together sounds awesome to me. It's just a shame it's not Tatar-Helm-Nyquist, which would be a lot of fun.

Don't know if it was posted yet but Helm is still out for tomorrow.

Franzen and Helm are still out for the near future

I know helm was playing good before his injury and all. But those are some pretty lame linemates for Nyquist.
We should swap Abby and Gus

Really? Mule didn't even appear to be concussed, just pissed he got cheap shotted.

You don't have to be completely out of it to be concussed... When Crosby was out for a year he got up and skated off fine.

Franzen was quoted as saying he's getting headaches and is dizzy. I think it's the right thing to do before these guys get dementia by the time they're 50.
I think Helm is the 3rd best forward to play with on this team only behind 13 and 40. His speed creates so much room and ability to make plays in the offensive zone. I've always thought both Nyquist and Tatar would excel alongside Helm.
And keep in mind Tatar will be in the lineup, so maybe all 3 of them could compose a line. If not, then I think you'll see Abdelkader-Helm-Nyquist which should also be fine because Abby's a different player alongside Helm.
I've a huge Tatar fan, and he simply cannot mesh with Dats/Zetterberg. Too different. Nyquist has been struggling, big part I'm sure due to injuries. Him being the main man controlling the puck has been off. His hands are smoother but he's been struggling carrying it. His hockey IQ is fantastic though.
I really like a Tatar-Helm-Nyquist line. Tats and Nyquist have chemistry. Helm's elite defensively, which is crazy, because he was better htere before the injuries. Helm can carry the puck in, win the races. Tatar has an unbelieveable offensive vision, though he may be the worst forward defensively. The cycle should be a beauty. Nyquist is great at getting to open ice, and running the cycle. So fast too.
I think these three lines are perfect. Gives us the best three lines possible to score. Fourth line is ****ing slow though, and that's worrisome.

I have more of an issue with Andersson being the off wing, than helm being the center. But this is helms 1st game back from injury.
Hopefully by game time that line is Tatar-helm-Nyquist or Abby-helm-Tatar/nyquist
