DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Eaves will not return to today's game due to a lower-body injury sustained in the first period.
No word on the extent of his injury. Last season the winger scored 13 goals and 20 points over 63 games of mostly fourth line duty. Coach Mike Babcock likes his offensive upside so, if healthy, expect a similar amount of goals.
Babcock believes Eaves has untapped offensive potential after scoring 25 goals over two seasons while in a checking role.
Eaves scored a few goals when the Red Wings were down with injuries last season. If he stays on Datsyuk's line, expect around 20 goals -- a total Eaves has not hit since his rookie season.
