Apparently he tore the ACL in his left knee sometime during their game last night against the Blackhawks. He had the gamewinning goal for them in the 2nd period.

Franzen is a huge part of that team. He was playing on a line with Datsyuk and Holmstrom.  Not sure who they shift up to play with those two now. 

Reports are saying minimum of 4 months, but Im not sure where they are coming up with that number.  Says he will wait for swelling to come down and have surgery to repair. Id be surprise if he plays again this season, as we saw with Morrow last year.
