Red Wings F Anthony Mantha to miss four weeks

Well, this is the last thing that a struggling team that’s starved for offense needed to hear.

Detroit Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha will be missing the next four weeks after suffering an injury to his ribcage during a late-game scuffle with Toronto’s Jake Muzzin.

Coach Blashill said Anthony Mantha (upper body) will be out a minimum of 4 weeks. #RedWings
