The Detroit Red Wings’ 5-1 Thursday victory over the Arizona Coyotes proved costly. Forwards Teemu Pulkkinen and Drew Miller will both miss extended periods of time with different injuries sustained during the contest.

Pulkkinen will miss the next 6-8 weeks with a dislocated shoulder and Miller will be out six weeks with surgery for a broken jaw.

The Detroit Free Press explained how both players were hurt in Thursday’s game.

Pulkkinen was lost at 6:19 of the first period, when he slid awkwardly into the boards, driven from behind by Martin Hanzal. Hanzal was given a boarding call. Miller left at 12:06 of the first period, helped off by an official and Jonathan Ericsson. Miller was absolutely crushed by Klas Dahlbeck, who led with his right shoulder as he hammered Miller, catching him in the jaw. A linesman grabbed Miller to keep him upright before play was stopped.

Here is a video of Hanzal’s board on Pulkkinen.

And Dahlbeck’s check on Miller.

Pulkkinen, 23, had 11 points in 23 games this season. He had 61 points in 46 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Detroit's American Hockey League affiliate, last year. The 31-year-old Miller had two points in 26 games this season.

According to MLive, the Red Wings won’t recall anyone from Grand Rapids for Saturday’s game against the Nashville Predators.
