Update (15. Mar, 12:00 AM): Helene St. James reports that the injury occured when Filppula took a shot off his foot. Mike Babcock assured the media after the game that he’s fine, that it’s not broken, and that he’ll be back in a few days. St. James rightfully points out on her blog that they thought the same thing about Mikael Samuelsson until they found out a few days later that it was broken. He only just recently made it back, after going down in January. So, take Babs’ words with a grain of salt. – Matt
Valtteri Filppula has left the game with a lower body injury and will not return, according to the FSN crew. The Wings’ injury troubles continue to get worse. Fil’s last shift came about midway through the second period.
