Detroit – Career game No. 100 will have a bit more meaning for Tomas Jurco Tuesday night against Tampa Bay.
Jurco was to be in the lineup for the first time this young season, after being a healthy scratch the opening two games.
"It's a chance for me to get back in the game; I'm real excited about it," said Jurco, who'll skate on the fourth line with Drew Miller and Luke Glendening. "I'm looking forward to playing.
"It was tough (watching and not playing). I want to be out there and playing but that's how it works.
