Nicklas Lidstrom admitted that he's a little concerned that his ankle injury might be something more than a short-term issue. Lidstrom hasn't played since Feb. 25 and he will miss Friday and Saturday's contests due to a deep bone bruise. However, the bigger problem is that Lidstrom hasn't noticed much improvement lately. He will be re-evaluated on Monday.
