"Quick update from Nassau Coliseum: Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk is out tonight against the Islanders.

Datsyuk said he suffered a lower-body injury during Sunday's game at Chicago, but didn't think it was serious. He's being held out tonight as a precaution, but said he hopes to play Thursday when the Wings host Phoenix.

Judging by his mood, Datsyuk isn't overly concerned. Asked how he got hurt, he replied, "it's secret information. KGB tell me, don't tell nobody." He did reveal "I feel it little bit yesterday and I hope it's better today, but not better. I hope it's one game.""
