Luke Glendening's coming out party will rage on. 

The Detroit Red Wings' checking specialist will be in the lineup for Game 5 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning despite suffering a laceration on his hand in Thursday's 3-2 loss.

His return will be a boost for the Red Wings, but had he remained healthy, they could be aiming to close out the series Saturday, as head coach Mike Babcock opined following the Game 4 loss. 

The Tyler Johnson line, that Glendening played a major role in shutting down, scored three times while he was on the training table to help the Lightning steal a late-game victory.
