Red Wings lose Zetterberg to 'upper body' injury

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  11:28PM - Thursday, December 17, 2009

The injury list has reached absurd levels: In addition to adding Jonathan Ericsson and Darren Helm to the list of wounded, the Red Wings have lost superstar forward Henrik Zetterberg to what is being described as an 'upper-body injury'. Zetterberg was checked hard -- and clean -- by Tampa Bay's Mattias Ohlund late in the first period Thursday night. Initially feared to be a concussion, reports seem to be focusing on Zetterberg's left shoulder. TSN's Bob McKenzie stated this evening that the team... More ›

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  12:35AM - Friday, December 11, 2009

The Red Wings have lost forward Dan Cleary for a month due to a seperated shoulder suffered in last night's loss to the St. Louis Blues. Cleary took a hard check at center ice from Blues defenseman Barret Jackman and never returned to the game.

Kronwall to miss at least a month with knee sprain

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  03:29PM - Sunday, November 22, 2009

It could have been worse. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall will miss at least the next four weeks -- up to a potential of eight -- with what the team is calling a significant sprain of his medial collateral ligament, "somewhere between a Grade 2 and Grade 3," Wings GM Ken Holland told the Detroit News. Kronwall was injured during an intentional knee-on-knee hit by the Canadiens' George Laraque midway through the first period Saturday night. More ›

Red Wings' loss marred by blown call

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  11:26AM - Thursday, November 19, 2009

Judging by what happened, referees apparently have intent to blow the whistle as a shot heads on goal -- that's the only possible way that forward Brad May's obvious game-tying goal 6:24 into the third period was not allowed. The horrendeous gaffe was the turning point in game the Red Wings ultimately lost 3-1 to the Dallas Stars in Joe Louis Arena. May's backhand attempt from the inside edge of the right circle beat goaltender Alex Auld short side and was pinned -- well behind he goalline -- ag... More ›

Goaltender Jimmy Howard, starting his third-straight game, stopped 19 shots. More ›
