Tomas Holmstrom told the Swedish press that he will not play before Game 4 at the earliest. The Red Wings shuffled their lines in practice. You could see the following combos, if Babcock goes with them in game action: Lang with Samuelsson (why hasn't he been scratched yet?) and Hudler. Filpulla with Bertuzzi and Franzen. Henrik [...]
