The Wings take the ice tonight (2/11/11) against an Original Six team, the Boston Bruines.  The Wings have been in sort of a slump with thier past 10 games going 5-5. Their last game was against the Nashville Predators where they lost 4-1 and then after got bashed by head coach, Mike Babcock, for putting on a heartless performance.  Many teams wouldn't see .500 as bad, but the Wing's have to live up to another standard that they are well capable of achieving. 

They have finally gotten one of their key players back, Pavel Datsyuk.  In his first game back on Febuary 7th, he had two shots on net with a goal and an assist for the night.  He scored this goal doing one of the things he does best and that is back-checking.  The Wing's won 3-2.  Datsuyk's goal: First game back .  The Wing's are beggining to become healthy again with most of the guys time table to come back to be within the next few weeks.
