Penguins/NHL
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Ruslan Fedotenko returned to practice on Friday after missing Thursday’s practice with an illness.
Fedotenko skated with Evgeni Malkin and Max Talbot while Pascal Dupuis was moved back to the 4th line.
The rest of the lines were
Kunitz – Crosby – Guerin
Cooke – Staal – Kennedy
Dupuis – Adams – Satan
Sykora – Zigomanis – Godard
*** Winning 6 of seven games when dressing seven defensemen, Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma is being
secretive as to whether he will go with seven defensemen or dress 12 forwards in game 1 of the Finals.
All seven defensemen rotated in drills today. Bylsma is not scared to mess with a winning lineup but Boucher has grown into a leadership role in the locker room the past couple weeks.
Going to be interesting as to which direction he goes.
Red Wings update
Forward Pavel Datsyuk and defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom practiced today for the defending champions. Datsyuk (foot) has missed the Red Wings last three games, Lidstrom has missed two straight games.
