DETROIT - Anthony Mantha doesn't regret sticking up for a teammate, but admits he took it a bit too far. It was a lesson learned for the young Detroit Red Wings forward.
Mantha said he won't need surgery on his broken right ring finger.
"I saw the specialist yesterday and it's healing pretty good already," Mantha said Friday. "The bone structure is pretty aligned, so it's just a few weeks to heal and then we'll be good."
