Detroit — Dominic Turgeon is fine now, but late last season Turgeon wasn’t sure where his career was headed.
While the Grand Rapids Griffins were in Texas in April, Turgeon noticed his right arm wasn’t right.
“One day my arm just kind of got swollen, kind of got big,” said Turgeon, one of the Red Wings’ top forward prospects. “I thought it was from an elbow problem at first, then it never really went away.
“Eventually I got it checked out and I needed surgery right away.”

Turgeon was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, a blood clot having formed in his arm.
