Nick Lidstrom was hit by Ian Laperriere around the five minute mark in the first period. Versus is reporting a knee injury, no report from Detroit radio.
He was groggy when he left the ice and was escorted to the lockerroom.
This is a pretty hot topic in the KK chatroom right now.
added 9:07pm, According to Wings radio, slight knee injury to Lidstrom.
added 9:33pm, as updates come in, they’ll be added on this post at A2Y

It sounds like Lids will be out a week to 10 days, but it seems like Detroit initially classifies all injuries that way so we’ll probably have to wait at least until tomorrow to get a better idea on when the captain will be back.
Great game for Derek Meech tho. The rook led all Detroit skaters in ice time, was +2, and was on the ice for all four Detroit goals. He’s certainly made the most of the ice time he’s gotten due to Niklas Kronwall’s and Brian Rafalski’s and now Nick Lidstrom’s injuries.

Meech was solid in that I didn’t really notice he was on the ice most of the game… which is a good thing.
Lidstrom has that quality in spades. Hopes for a speedy recovery.
