Another update on Zetterberg and it's only getting worse.

We reported earlier today that Zetterberg could potentially miss tonight's game after he was assaulted by Dallas Stars' forward Jamie Benn, now the news has gone from bad to worse. According to a report from Ansar Khan of Mlive.com Zetterberg will in fact miss tonight's game due to the injuries he suffered at the hands of Benn, and in fact could miss tomorrow's game against the defending cup champions the L.A. Kings. The Red Wings will not get their chance to extract any measure of revenge, at least not in the regular season as they don't have another game scheduled against Dallas this season. Hopefully the seriousness of the injury to Zetterberg prompts NHL player safety to review the incident, something they have yet to do. Once again for any of you who missed our original reports you can view the incident here.
