Pavel Datsyuk - C - Detroit Red Wings

Detroit coach Mike Babcock is unhappy with his top line of Pavel Datsyuk, Tomas Holmstrom and Todd Bertuzzi.
"That line hasn't been very good," Babcock said. "Pav, Bert and Homer haven't been as good. They turn the puck over way too much and haven't had enough substance playing in the offensive zone. For Homer to score goals and be effective, they gotta be on the grind in that zone and he's gotta be at the net. That's a key for him." Babcock is not going to break up the line at this point in time, but with Detroit struggling, anything is possible.
