DETROIT -- The moment that Johan Franzen has been waiting for has finally arrived.
Franzen will play in his first game since Jan. 6 at Edmonton when he skates against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Wings' third exhibition game tonight.
"It's going to be fun," Franzen said. "Been training all summer for this, for this moment pretty much. Like the first time I get a chance to see where I'm at, with some real bumping and some real hits out there. It's going to be good."
Franzen said he made it through the exertion of training camp without any problems and is now ready to see how a game goes.
