From the Detroit Free Press:
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock says Kris Draper is able to play but he might sit the gritty forward in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
Babcock said today he’s reluctant to change his lineup because his team is leading the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-0.Pavel Datsyuk, who has been out with a foot injury, is not expected to play Tuesday night at Pittsburgh.

I don’t see Datsyuk getting back before Game 4 and most likely not till Game 5. I’m not sure this bruised foot explanation is even plausible anymore as we are going on two weeks now. Regarding Draper, even if he is ready to go, I cannot see Babcock changing the current formula which has been working so well for the Wings.
