Those are basically the lines we've had the last batch of games.

Looks will Franzen will return to center to replace Zetterberg on line with Nyquist and Bertuzzi. Other lines the same in practice.

Horrible, horrible timing for Detroit. Just found the team's chemistry and everyone was fitting in well together. I guess we'll get to see a glimpse of what the future will be like post Zetterberg/Datsyuk

Nah, I think they'll be fine for a while. Still more than enough talent to score goals and I think Tatar/Nyquist will step up. Team defense will be fine as it has been, especially if Howard is back to form. Huge blow for sure, but this team can stay afloat.

I'm less worried about the team and more worried about Z. I really hope it's not too bad and it doesn't end up taking him out for much more than 2 weeks.
Pav should hopefully be back very soon and even before that I think we can do okay since the Helm and Andersson lines are looking great and maybe, maybe this will push Weiss to step up.

Yeah. I don't mind this. I like it. Just keep Clears away from the Top 9. Would love to see Tats in the top 6.

I think we can weather the storm short term but worried about Henk. This could turn into more than 2weeks. Back injuries are the worst

You'll see Pav pushing harder to get back onto the team now though. 2 weeks right now is about 8 games (2 against TB, 1 against Pitt and 1 against Anaheim...OUCH). Just have to stay above water? Could we look on the bright side and hope for a 4-4 overall. If Pavel comes back 1 week from now, that would be HUGE.
Flyers have started to play better...this game may be pretty rough on Wednesday.
Call me crazy, but this could be a bit of a blessing in disguise. The last couple of games it's been the secondary scoring, not the stars, that have been providing the offense. We will fully get to see what the kids can do now, Datsyuk and Zetterberg will be well rested, Datsyuk should be back soon anyway. Weiss should step up in this situation. In a very weak East we can still easily make the playoffs, and a rested Datsyuk and Zetterberg in the playoffs could be huge. Not even close to the end of the world.

Zetterberg said he knew something was wrong the last couple of games. Same disc that bothered him before. Evaluate again in couple weeks.

I don't see why Weiss is still on the fourth line this is a PERFECT shot for him, we have nothin to lose and he was the go to in Florida and can become the go to now, or at least attempt to

Totally agree that if completely healthy and rested, Z and D could tear it up heading into the playoffs. Being a natural born pessimist though, if either guy has lingering long term effects from their injuries (or God forbid both of them), this team is in real trouble. Back injuries and concussions have been known to keep guys out of action for long stretches of time. Hoping for the best though, obviously.
Seems obvious that Weiss has to pick it up in a major way. He can't continue to play at a bottom 6 center level if 13 and 40 were to both miss significant time. I wouldn't mind seeing Franzen center one of the top 2 lines either.

Can anyone ballpark a timeline on this? Like what, a month at least?
Dats and Dekeyser need to come back soon.
