Babcock said there was no way Kronwall will play today.

EDIT: He said that after the game in Van.

Draper back in; Kronwall, Hasek to return Friday

Posted by George James Malik February 26, 2008 15:24PM

It appears that Kris Draper will remain in the Red Wings' lineup tonight:

February 26, Detroit Free Press: Quick update here from Rexall Place, where the Red Wings just finished their morning skate in preparation for tonight's game against the Oilers: Kris Draper said his groin felt much better, and he expects to be in the lineup tonight. ... Draper said his groin tightened up Monday "about halfway through the skate and I just came off as a precautionary measure. Today I skated and I felt pretty good, so I want to go."

Niklas Kronwall (clavicle) will be back Friday, and Dominik Hasek will back up tonight. Jimmy Howard said he will be flying to Hamilton, Ontario, this afternoon to rejoin the Grand Rapids Griffins.

February 26, Detroit News: Draper has some tightness in his groin, but took part in the morning skate Tuesday. If Draper doesn't play, Mark Hartigan will take his place in the lineup.

"I think so," Draper said when asked if he would play. "It kind of tightened up (Monday), but today I went for a skate and it felt pretty good."

Niklas Kronwall (clavicle) will return to the lineup Friday against San Jose, according to coach Mike Babcock.

Brian Rafalski (groin) and Chris Chelios (fibula) are both out. Babcock said Rafalski will be re-examined back in Detroit.

Dominik Hasek will backup Chris Osgood Tuesday night and expects to play Friday. Jimmy Howard was to be returned to Grand Rapids later Tuesday.

"re-examined" is a bad word where groin injuries are concerned...
