Red Wings' Datsyuk to miss next 2 games with lower-body injury
Rick Osentoski / USA TODAY Sports
Pavel Datsyuk will not make the trip to Florida.
The Detroit Red Wings' star center will miss starts against the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning this week due to a lower-body injury, head coach Mike Babcock told reporters.
His status for Sunday's game with the St. Louis Blues remains questionable.
Datsyuk played just under 16 minutes in last Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but appeared to take regular shifts through to the final whistle.
