DETROIT -- Late Red Wings enforcer Bob Probert has been given a little more time in the penalty box at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena.

Probert's widow, Dani, sprinkled some of the forward's ashes in the box Sunday, when the Red Wings played their final game in the stadium.

His daughter Brogan tweeted Sunday that she "can't think of a better place" for her father's ashes.

Probert logged hours in the box as one of the NHL's most penalized players. During the 1987-88 season, he led the league with 398 penalty minutes. He is fifth all time with 3,300 penalty minutes in a 16-season career. Nine of those seasons were spent in Detroit.

He retired in 2002 and died of a heart attack in 2010 at the age of 45.
