The Detroit Red Wings have had a so-so start to their 2016 season thus far, starting off 8-6-1. Sure, the season has been fine I guess, with a few nice games here and some sluggish performances there. But something has been missing. Or someone, rather. The Magic Man.
Yes, Pavel Datsyuk is expecting to make his season debut this Friday against the San Jose Sharks after missing the first 15 games of the new season recovering from ankle surgery. Teammates and fans alike are eagerly awaiting his return.
Datsyuk will likely be on a line with fellow Euro-twin Henrik Zetterberg when he finally takes the ice, and that will be a welcome sight to all around the organization.
