Both the Red Wings and the Blackhawks are expected to be with their full Game One rosters for Game Two tonight in Detroit.
Marian Hossa was banged up in Game One but said he just "needed a breather" after a hit from Chicago's Andrew Ladd. Jiri Hudler also took a big hit and Brad Stuart blocked a shot but all Wings were accounted for in Monday's practice.
Duncan Keith did not practice for the 'Hawks on Monday but is expected to play tonight.
One unknown is the status of Ville Leino. He practiced with the main squad (rather than with the rest of the Black Aces) yesterday but was not on a regular line. That could be Mike Babcock's way of getting him ready in case of injury or it could be that he wants to be able to make a lineup change to bring in more scoring, replacing a grittier player such as Justin Abdelkader.

You never know what Coach Babcock has up his sleeve, with Scotty Bowman as one of their consultants I am sure he is keeping and roster changes quiet until game time.
How cute, the 'Hawks think shoving people around at the net will help them.
Abs back out there, glad to see he's okay after that hit earlier.
Ughhhh, this is terrible. Research paper vs. hockey. ): I mean, the winner is obvious, but still. Haha.
At least the Wings have not been stuck in their zone the whole time so far.
Well f*ck. Long five-on-three. This is gonna suck.
Well... Here we go with the garbage calls.
Made it through the 5 on 3....and just got scored on. Damn ):
Damnit Mikey! You always clear when you have the chance! 
Off of Ericsson. He's not looking good this series.
Seemed to be killing that penalty well. Then Samuelsson f*cked up.
Give me a break! Are you f*cking kidding me?
Good kill that time around. Awful call on Homer.
Come on guys... Let's get on the board!

I think that made it through clean. Seeing-eye shot.
Thank You!
Hossa definitely deflected it, can't tell if Holmstrom did too.

Great passing on that odd-man chance.
Lots of action in this period...

Where was the tripping call on that one?
Bullsh*t call there!

Better period but these penalties are killer. I don't like this most recent one but it's gotta get killed anyway.
Big early kill.
Awful call, especially considering the interference call on Homer earlier.
Too much pressure. Needed clear the f*cking zone.
f*ck.
Aww damn, this is a huge power play.
I'm scared.
I'm scared.
Seconded.
