Petteri Nokelainen probably summed it up best.
"I play with whoever they put me out to play with," he said, "Right now it looks like we're playing with everybody right now, especially when we're two guys short in the middle."
Those two guys -- centers Saku Koivu and Ryan Carter -- didn't take part in a full practice Tuesday with their teammates. Koivu at least attempted to start, after skating for a half-hour on his own, but lasted about 15 minutes before walking off the ice. Carter, who bruised his foot in Columbus when it absorbed a teammate's shot in practice, didn't skate at all.

Drew Miller will be joining ex-Ducks Brad May and Todd Bertuzzi in Detroit, as the Red Wings have claimed the forward off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The former Michigan State standout had not found the scoresheet in 14 games since being traded by the Ducks for Evgeny Artyukhin in August. The Red Wings were 12th in the waiver priority order, which reverted to this year's record on Nov. 1; the Ducks were fifth.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have placed Drew Miller on waivers. Miller, who was traded by the Ducks to the Lightning for Evgeny Artyukhin in August, had zero points and 10 shots in 13 games for Tampa Bay, never finding a permanent place in the forward corps.
Ducks right wing Evgeny Artyukhin has been suspended for three games without pay by the NHL as the result of a slew-footing incident Wednesday night against Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Niskanen, who was injured on the play. The incident occurred at 4:23 of the second period of Dallas' 4-2 win. No penalty was assessed on the play.
Artyukhin, who was suspended for two games Jan. 19, 2009, is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Accordingly, Artyukhin forfeits $34,756.11 in salary based on the number of games (82) in a season, rather than the number of days (193). The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
Artyukhin will miss Saturday's game against Columbus, Oct. 26 against Toronto and Oct. 30 against Vancouver. He will be eligible to return Oct. 31 at Phoenix.
According to Rule 52.1 of the official NHL rulebook, slew-footing is the act of a player or goalkeeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent's feet from under him, or pushes an opponent's upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent's feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice.
Here is the video of the play. Because of the angle, and the proximity of the play to the boards, you can't actually see the players' feet make contact on the ice. It looks more like a "slew-kneeing," which probably falls under the definition of a "leg or foot."
