Craig Custance is reporting on Twitter (add IllegalCurve.com on Twitter here) that both Pavel Datsyuk and Kris Draper will not suit up for Detroit tonight.

Not overly surprising considering the quick 24 hr turnaround here.  If these two players were not able to go last night, there probably wasn’t much chance they were going to be ready to go today.  A few people are saying expect Datsyuk back for Game 3, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.
