Mike Babcock said he'll decide later if Tomas Tatar will play tonight for Red Wings, but it sure sounded like he's in after morning skate.
Tatar could enter the lineup in either Mikael Samuelsson or Todd Bertuzzi's spot in the Red Wings lineup. Samuelsson played just two shifts in the third period yesterday, so he would seem like the most likely candidate.

Tomas Tatar wearing gray at practice. A sure sign he is not playing Wednesday against Buffalo.
Tatar is a great talent who will get into the Red Wings lineup soon, however it will not be in the opener. Detroit will put a veteran roster on the ice on Wednesday.
Line Change
Tomas Tatar made the Wings’ final roster, but now the question is when will he get in the lineup. It appears Wings coach Mike Babcock will sit Tatar in the season opener, opting to go with a more veteran look as Joakim Andersson will center Todd Bertuzzi and Daniel Cleary.
“I’m out of the lineup right now, but I don’t know what will happen Wednesday, so just wait for a chance,” Tatar said. “I’m the youngest guy in the locker room, so I wait and when chance comes I’m going to grab it and hold it.” Tatar is a tremendous offensive talent and will get his shot soon. He has great speed, great hands and the ability to set up linemates and score.

The Wings have placed Brendan Smith on IR, called up Tatar and Mrazek from Grand Rapids.
Tatar was called up to try and spark the Red WIngs secondary scoring. Tatar has 19 G, 22 A and a +13 in 44 AHL games this season. The crafty Slovak will play on the Wings second line with Datsyuk and Filppula, which gives him a great opportunity to produce.

#RedWings send Tomas Tatar back to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Tatar heads back to the AHL after being a healthy scratch. The gifted forward will be better served seeing top minutes with the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Tomas Tatar's flight to Nash delayed. Didn't make morning skate. Will take warmup and play if needed. Emmerton in. #bootscootinghockey
Tatar will only play tonight if Jiri Hudler or another banged up forward can't draw in. Otherwise, expect the talented winger to head back to the AHL.

The Red Wings recalled forward Tomas Tatar from the Grand Rapids Griffins for precautionary reasons.
Apparently there is another player who may not be able to play. Tatar scored seven goals and 21 points in 26 games while in the AHL and would presumably fill in on a scoring line.
Line Change
We thought he was going to bring some energy, give us some good depth, but with Ryan Johnson and (Cory) Emmerton, (Fabian) Brunnstrom, (Tomas) Tatar, we've got some guys that can continue to push and give us depth.
Tatar is the team's top forward prospect. Last season, Tatar scored 24 goals and 57 points with the team's minor league affiliate Grand Rapid Griffins, earning a nine-game audition with the big club. He likely only makes the team if an offensive role opens up for him.
