While there is no confirmation that Pavel Datsyuk will be back in the lineup tonight, the Pens have prepared for his return, noting that it really will not alter much of how the Pens play, they will just have to be aware of him on the ice. Apparently, Detroit will also have Kris Draper back in the lineup tonight as well.
Datsyuk coming in will most likely mean less ice time for Henrik Zetterberg, who led all forwards in ice time from game 3 with over 24 minutes.
The Pens believe their system has been successful so far and are not going to make huge alterations because of Datsyuk's return. They acknowledge his skill and understand how big of an addition he is and they will play against him like they do everyone else on the Detroit team.
