The Detroit Red Wings will be without one of their best players for at least a week.
Anthony Mantha was still undergoing tests Sunday afternoon, but coach Jeff Blashill said Mantha was placed on the injured reserve list, which means the earliest he is eligible to return is Sunday at Tampa Bay.
Blashill declined to specify Mantha’s injury, but he looked groggy after being slammed to the ice Saturday and left Scotiabank Arena with his right shoulder in a sling. , The Wings, fortunately, start their Christmas break Monday and don’t play again until Saturday against the Panthers in Florida.
