COLUMBUS, Ohio -- More bad news for the Detroit Red Wings, as coach Mike Babcock said after Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to Columbus that forward Tomas Holmstrom suffered a broken right hand late in the third period and will be out at least four weeks.

Holmstrom said he's not sure it was from a slash or he got hit with the puck.

"I don’t know, I was battling around the net and I felt something,'' Holmstrom said. "I got to the bench and I felt like I can’t hold onto the stick anymore.’’

He will see a hand specialist on Saturday to determine if surgery is needed.

“I feel like (bleep),'' Holmstrom said.

The Red Wings, who have no extra healthy skaters, are expected to recall Tomas Tatar from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Is it me or does anyone else have the thought running through their head "Who's hurt now" everytime you check this site after a game or the morning after a game? I suppose we should all be used to this by now.

We're really in for it now, guys. Hopefully this doesn't affect Holmstrom down the road. He already has a history of back problems, he doesn't need anything else Homer is one of my favorite Wings. Anyway, who will get the call? Could we be poised to make a deal for a rental in preparation for more injuries down the stretch?

If Babcock goes down, his hair would take his place .

According to mlive, Homer is expected to be out at least 4 weeks .

Who the f*** do I blow/eat out/f*** to end this damn injury bug ?
