BRANDON, Fla. – If this is Pavel Datsyuk's final playoff run, he might experience a good portion of it with Henrik Zetterberg by his side.
Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill reunited the team catalysts on a line with Justin Abdelkader Tuesday during practice at the Brandon Ice Forum, in preparation for Wednesday's playoff opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena (7 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit).
"We'll make decisions tomorrow on the finality of the lineup, but that's how we practiced today," Blashill said.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg have played on separate lines this season.
