2/2 Notes

Injured Wings defenseman Derian Hatcher will accompany the team on their short two-game road trip to Nashville and Denver this week. He has been participating in practice drills which put no stress on his knee. His return to playing in still slated for some time in March Head coach Dave Lewis said yesterday that he plans on starting Manny Legace tomorrow night in Nashville instead of the (slightly) slumping Curtis Joseph. He will decide who he'll go with in the Colorado game based on what happens against the Preds. The Wings did not practice yesterday but skated this morning and will leave tonight for Nashville. The Wings have been looking at Chicago forward and captain Alexei Zhamnov as a possible trade-deadline addition to the roster. However, the Canadian media reported Sunday that Vancouver and San Jose are also interested in making some kind of deal. The Canucks are apparently offering some prospects and Sergei's brother Fedor Fedorov, a player who is not known for his amazing abilities. Freep | News
