Red Wings' Franzen not 100 percent, sitting Tuesday

Johan Franzen isn't in the Detroit Red Wings' lineup Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"The Mule" was dogged by concussion issues last season, which limited him to only 33 games. The club said he's not feeling 100 percent, according to MLive.com's Ansar Khan, and while the Red Wings don't know if the issues are concussion-related, they don't want to risk it.
Ferraro skated with Glendening and Miller during warm-ups, Jurco skated where Franzen was supposed to play, with Richards and Tatar.

Franzen has an assist in two games, averaging just under 13 minutes per game.
