Johan Franzen picked up an assist in his return to the lineup on Tuesday night from an upper-body injury. Frazen had missed five of Detroit's previous six games due to his undisclosed ailment. He played alongside Darren Helm and Daniel Alfredsson on Detroit's second line versus Winnipeg. Coach Mike Babcock was impressed with how the trio played. "I thought he was pretty good," Babcock said of Franzen. "Both him and Helmer, I mean, they haven't played a lot of hockey. They dominated some shifts. I thought those guys played well, gave us a real good second group."
