Wings' leading scorer out 2-3 weeks with inflamed disk
Quote:
DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings forward and leading scorer Henrik Zetterberg is expected to be out two to three weeks with an inflamed disk in his back.
Zetterberg left practice Monday and missed Tuesday's game in Chicago against the Blackhawks.
The 26-year-old from Sweden has 33 goals and 35 assists and two or more points in eight of his last 12 games.

Not as bad as anyone would think. This will be a good rest for him while he gets healthy. His scoring has been carrying the Red Wings for the past month or so anyway.
If he misses 2 weeks, he'll miss games against: Nashville (2 or 3 times), Chicago (he's already missed one against them on Tuesday), Colorado, Boston and Los Angeles.
If he misses 3 weeks: Calgary and Vancouver and would probably return against Columbus on the 24th of March.
