Red Wings' Justin Abdelkader: Appears doubtful to play Tuesday

Abdelkader (lower body) was present at morning skate Tuesday, but rotated on the fourth line and may not be ready to play in the evening's contest against the visiting Hurricanes, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Abdelkader has wavered in terms of suspected availability for the upcoming contest, but this latest report suggests that he won't play. While the Red Wings almost assuredly will confirm whether he's out closer to puck drop, fantasy owners should start looking for alternatives in daily formats.
