Johan Franzen out of Detroit Red Wings lineup with knee injury

The Detroit Red Wings will likely be without forward Johan Franzen for three to four weeks.

Franzen sprained a ligament in his right knee Saturday at Chicago. He had to be helped from the ice at 6:58 of the second period after a collision.

Franzen had 10 goals and 30 points for the Red Wings last season, and had 12 goals and 16 points the previous year as an NHL rookie. Detroit took the Swede in the third round of the 2004 draft.
