He hurt his knee in the third period Saturday in Ottawa, on the same play in which Senators forward Dany Healtey separated his shoulder. Heatley tried to check Drake, which eluded him. Healthy then crashed into the boards. Heatley's out up to six weeks but Drake's injury doesn't appear to be serious, Wings coach Mike Babcock said. Aaron Downey avoided a serious injury when Kirk Maltby fell on his knee in practice Monday. Downey said he "felt something snap'' and had to be helped off the ice. But he returned later and finished the practice. "Kind of hyper-extended it a little bit,'' Downey said. "We're going to check it right now. Knee's a little sore right now. I'm sure a miracle heal will help and I'll be able to go tomorrow.'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The injury occured on the same play that left Ottawa Senators forward Dany Heatley with a seperated shoulder. Heatley will miss the next 4-6 weeks. "Him and Heatley went flying into the boards and (Drake) smacked up his knee and Heatley smacked up his shoulder," Wings coach Mike Babcock said on Monday. "I think (Drake will) be available for tomorrow but I'm not certain." Wings forward Aaron Downey collided with Kirk Maltby during Monday's practice. He hurt his right knee but said he'd be fine. Babcock agreed: " I noticed he had the trainer out there but it didn't stop activity very long so he's fine." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Aaron Downey avoided a serious injury when Kirk Maltby fell on his knee in practice Monday. I guess Malts got pretty heavy sitting around during his time out with the back injury? Dang, it sucks they both have these issues. If it was just one he could rest while the other played. But they're tough, hopefully some R&R tonight and they'll be ready to go tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
