The Red Wings could get defenseman Brian Rafalski back for Tuesday night's Game 6 against the Ducks.
Detroit leads the semifinal series 3-2, and will be looking to avoid a seventh game against Anaheim.
"Obviously if the coaches and myself feel I can contribute in any way, there's a good chance I'll play," Rafalski said after the team's practice on Monday.
He has been out with an upper-body injury.
