DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said defenseman Brad Stuart will play in Game 5 on Saturday in San Jose.



Stuart left Thursday's Game 4 less than six minutes into the first period with a lower-body injury following a check from San Jose's Rob Blake along the boards.



"Stewie is one of those guys where it doesn't matter, he just plays anyway,'' Babcock said. "The doctor checked him out and everything seems to be fine. He'll be ready to go the next game.''
