Filppula was unable to stay in yesterday's game and is questionable for tomorrow. The Finnish forward has eight goals and 21 points through 25 games as he establishes himself as one of the better threats on the Red Wings. Expect him to draw back in shortly.

Stay tuned for a further word on Filppula's status.
Filppula continues to tease fantasy hockey owners with a highly talented game that could easily elevate into a true scorer. However, his 35-40 point outputs have fallen well short of those predictions. He could approach 50 points if he remains Henrik Zetterberg's left wing.
Filppula could finally break out while playing on Henrik Zetterberg or Pavel Datsyuk's wing. He scored 16 goals and 39 points last season but has never posted more than 40 points in his five year career. An increase to 50 points could be expected should he stick on a scoring line.
