Datysuk finally came back with a good game and helped the Wings get a much needed win.
Lidstrom on Pavel Datysuk wrote:"It didn't look like he missed 19 games. He's so good offensively and defensively, working hard, getting the puck back. Just his awareness on the ice. When you haven't played for almost two months, you're not in game shape, but it didn't look like he missed a beat."
