Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen left Sunday evening's game between the Red Wings and the Tampa Bay Lightning after being hit in the head by a glancing blow from Lightning defenseman Radko Gudas. 

According to Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock, Franzen sustained a head-injury and is currently going through concussion protocols. 

The Red Wings are already down a handful of useful forwards with Darren Helm, Justin Abdelkader, Henrik Zetterberg, and Stephen Weiss all on the shelf nursing a variety of ailments.
