Pavel Datsyuk is in the Red Wings lineup tonight against Phoenix but Todd Bertuzzi is out.
Datsyuk, who missed Tuesday’s game on Long Island because of a lower body injury, took part in the morning skate Thursday and said he would be a game-time decision.
Bertuzzi’s injury is undisclosed and unknown at this point.
Jan Mursak, just recalled from Grand Rapids this morning, will be the 12th forward.
This will be Mursak’s first regular season game this season.
On defense, Jakub Kindl is in the lineup and Mike Commodore out. The two have more or less been alternating of late.
Commodore has a sore foot which likely would have kept him out of the lineup regardless.
