Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
DETROIT, March 9 (UPI) -- Center Robert Lang, who joined the Detroit Red Wings less than two weeks ago, will miss up to a month with a broken rib, Coach Dave Lewis said Tuesday.
Lang was injured when checked into the boards in the first period of a 1-1 Monday night tie with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"It was a normal bodycheck," Lang said. "I hit the seam (in the boards) and cracked a rib."
Lewis said Lang would be out three to four weeks.
"I can't predict anything, but I'm hoping that before playoffs everything will be fine," Lang said.
The Red Wings acquired Lang from the Washington Capitals Feb. 27.
Other Red Wings on the injured list include centers Kris Draper and Pavel Datsyuk and defensemen Niklas Kronwall and Mathieu Dandenault.
