from George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press,
Detroit Red Wings forwards Valtteri Filppula, Niklas Kronwall and Johan Franzen all skated today at Joe Louis Arena, but Darren Helm did not.
Filppula, who is the closest of the injured Wings to returning to action, skated with the team during practice drills and attempted some wrist shots. Filppula has been out since Oct. 29 with a broken right wrist.
“It was fun, a lot of fun,” Filppula said of skating with the rest of the team. “Been missing doing that.”
“Now I can start practicing with the guys. I’m still a couple weeks away, probably, from playing, but I felt pretty good.”
added 1:58pm, from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson can’t quite straighten out his left leg and can’t quite bend it, either, but given that he has no ligament damage to his knee, he is, more than anything, upbeat.
