Red Wings' Johan Franzen undergoing treatment after 'really bad' few months

It has been 32 months since Johan Franzen played in a game and the former Detroit Red Wings power forward continues battling post-concussion syndrome.

Franzen is undergoing an intensive treatment program at Marcus Brain Health Institute in Denver, according to his wife, Cissi, who documented her husband's struggles in her blog, Franzen Residence.

"The last months have been really bad," Cissi Franzen wrote in the blog. "Something needed to happen and I'm so thankful we found this new amazing place. It opened up in March and they treat veterans and athletes with brain traumas. Johan was actually their very first athlete.
