Status report
Centers Larkin and Copp each will be out two weeks, Red Wings coach Todd McLellan said; Larkin left during the third period of a 3-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Friday after losing an edge and having his right knee buckle following an awkward fall and Copp was injured when he got tangled up with Panthers forward Tomas Nosek after a second-period face-off, with Nosek landing on top of Copp's leg during a 4-3 loss at Florida on Tuesday. ... Perron was in a regular jersey and rotated in line rushes during Detroit's morning skate; the forward is recovering from a sports hernia. ... Watson, a forward, was recalled under emergency conditions from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Thursday. ... Dries and forwards Leonard and Tralmaks each was recalled under the same conditions from Grand Rapids on Wednesday. ... Lilleberg, a defenseman, participated in the Lightning morning skate wearing a noncontact jersey. ...Paul, a forward, and Cernak, a defenseman, skated but will not play; each is day to day.
