Red Wings' Abdelkader leaves with injury

Detroit Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader was helped from the ice late in the first period of the game Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins after a hit by defenseman Deryk Engelland. He did not return to the game, which the Penguins won 4-1.

Abdelkader was skating for a loose puck at center ice when he and Engelland collided near the red line. Engelland's shoulder appeared to strike Abdelkader's chin. Daniel Alfredsson and a team trainer helped Abdelkader from the ice at Joe Louis Arena with 29.3 seconds remaining in the period.

Engelland was given a match penalty, putting Detroit on a five-minute power play. Chuck Kobasew served the five minutes.

Abdelkader played 6:01 on seven shifts before he was injured.
