Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News: (Q&A with Jeff Blashill) Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said that Henrik Zetterberg wasn’t able to practice for half of the year last season and there is some doubt if he’ll be able to play this season.
“He’s had a hard summer and I don’t think his back is reacting great. Certainly we’ll know more in a month (at training camp), but as of today, there’s a lot of doubt as to whether his back will be healthy enough to play.
