DETROIT -- The Red Wings had been doing better than last season in terms of injuries.
But during Sunday's game, Justin Abdelkader missed the third period because of an upper-body injury.
"He's day to day," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "He's got a shoulder issue. It's not life-threatening. It might be for some guys, but Abby is tougher than most so for Abby it'll probably be shorter than most."
Abdelkader started the game on a line with Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg.
