A pair of Detroit Red Wings’ forwards were injured late in the second period, but are expected to return to the game, according to reports out of Anaheim.
Justin Abdelkader and Johan Franzen left the game at separate times late in the middle period of Game 2 in that Western Conference quarter-final. Both players also scored, as Detroit jumped out to a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes.
Franzen felled by shot to Mule family jewels. Word in press box is he's expected back, ditto Abdelkader.
