The Red Wings will be without center Valtteri Filppula for tonight’s game against Nashville at Joe Louis Arena. Detroit could be missing Filppulla for a week or more after an M-R-I exam yesterday confirmed that he suffered a sprained knee in the Red Wing’s win Monday night over the Rangers.

However, Detroit should have forward Tomas Holmstrom back tonight after being out with a broken right hand since January 14th.

Tonight and tomorrow night in the ECHL, the Kalamazoo Wings skate at Trenton.
