Johan Franzen: Out With Illness
Franzen will not play Tuesday due to an illness, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis:
It's not clear what type of sickness Franzen is dealing with, but it will prevent him from taking the ice Tuesday night, as he hasn't been able to skate the past two days. Consider him questionable for Detroit's next game Friday while team doctors conduct tests to determine if Franzen might have contracted the mumps virus that has been spreading around the league.
