Watch Red Wings vs Blackhawks Round 3 NHL Stanley Cup 2009 Playoffs Live on May 22, at 8:00 pm EDT can be watch live on VS., CBC. Round 3 of Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks live streaming online at sports.yahoo.com as Red Wings lead series 2-0.
Pavel Datsyuk's scoring has been way down during the Detroit Red Wings' run at another Stanley Cup. And now the star center and MVP finalist has a sore foot to deal with headed into Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.
Datsyuk missed practice Thursday before the Red Wings departed for Chicago, but his coach and teammates were hoping he'd be able to go against the Blackhawks on Friday night.
Datsyuk was struck by a puck during Detroit's 3-2 overtime win in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
"He took a rocket off the foot the other night. We'll go from there and see what happens," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.
"He's day-to-day, simple. We'll see how his foot reacts."
Datsyuk, who had 97 points in the regular season, has scored one goal in 13 playoff games. He did have an assist in Game 2, giving him two in the series and six in the postseason.
But despite his scoring drought, the Red Wings lead the series 2-0 and are two victories away from returning to the Stanley Cup finals.
And Datsyuk is just one of the top Red Wings' players struggling to score. Marian Hossa, who had 40 goals in the regular season, has managed four in 13 playoffs games.
