Based on the way this season has been going with injuries, it would not have been a surprise for the Red Wings to lose another player.
Center Frans Nielsen looked like his old self in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, scoring two goals, one on a breakaway in the third period that tied the game, 3-3.
Nielsen was fine the whole game but did not practice Thursday.
"Frans woke up this morning sick, so I don't know his availability for tomorrow," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said.
