Detroit Red Wings centre Pavel Datsyuk continues his recovery from ankle surgery in June and may begin practicing next week, although he is expected to be out until mid-November.
"I don't know if he's joining us Monday (for practice), or if it's a week from Monday, but he is skating on his own," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said, per MLive.com. "He's working out hard on his own. I think he's on schedule, whatever that means. There's been no setbacks.
"Obviously, when he trusts his ankle and feels good about his ankle, he'll then join us for practice.
