Even though Detroit has had main goalie, Jimmy Howard, out for quite a few games, Howard as well as the rest of the lineup, prepare for Friday Night's game against the Nashville Predators.
With only five games left, Coach Mike Babcock is highly debating wether to play Howard, or continue to rest him in preparation for the playoffs.
"It's my decision wether to put him in net or not", Babcock stated on Channel 2 action news, "I believe in being patient for something that is more important, like the playoffs".
Though Ty Conklin has done right in net for Detroit, many fans are ready to have Howard back in the net to finish off the season.
Tomorrow will determine wether or not Howard is truly, well-rested, and ready to compete against Nashville, as well as other returning injured wings, and continuing to play during round one.
Game starts at 7:30pm Eastern Time.
