Filppula Out With Broken Wrist

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, The Red Wings have lost center Valtteri Filppula for 6-8 weeks with a broken right wrist. Filppula was hurt in the second period of Thursday’s 6-5 shootout loss at Edmonton when he was hit by Gilbert Brule. “I feel terrible, but nothing I can do now,” Filppula said. “It’s not good,” Henrik Zetterberg added. “It’s tough to lose a player and especially Fil, he plays a lot of minutes and plays in all situations, so it’s a tough break for us.” General manager Ken Holland said the team would not be recalling anyone from the minors, as they have enough forwards to go around. continued
