Red Wings' Abdelkader expected to return from hand injury for Game 3 vs. Lightning

Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock expects to make lineup changes following Saturday's 5-1, Game 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The easiest one will be adding Justin Abdelkader, who's set to return from a hand injury after missing the past six games.

"We'll be fortunate we'll get Abby back next game, so we'll be able to move people around and put us in a little better situation that way, better matchups," Babcock said Saturday.

Abdelkader scored 23 goals and added 21 assists in 71 regular season games.
