From the Detroit Red Wings:
Datsyuk missed the first five games of the season after separating his shoulder in the preseason. Tonight in Montreal, the Wings’ star forward is expected to skate on the left side of a line with Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader.
Wings lines: Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Abdelkader; Tatar-Sheahan-Nyquist: Nestrasil-Helm-Jurco; Andersson-Glendening-Miller

Datsyuk, 36, has amassed a rather lengthy injury log the past few seasons...
...so the Wings will obviously be hoping he can stay healthy this time.
Pavel Datsyuk shows off humor when asked about '13-14: "It's last year, I not remember. You remember. Maybe newspaper remember but not me."
