Red Wings lose Teemu Pulkkinen for six to eight weeks

Detroit Red Wings winger Teemu Pulkkinen sustained a dislocated shoulder during Thursday's game against the Arizona Coyotes.

What It Means:

Pulkkinen will be out for the next six to eight weeks. If there's a silver lining, it's that he doesn't need surgery.

After registering just eight points in 31 games a year ago, he has six goals and 11 points in 24 games this season. We have Pulkkinen projected for 12 goals and 10 assists over the final 56 games, but those numbers will take a hit with this news.
