On Tuesday night in St. Paul, the Detroit Red Wings will take on the Minnesota Wild, and they will be doing so absent a pair of centers: Andrew Copp and Michael Rasmussen, who had been in the middle of Detroit's second and third lines.

In addition to the lateness, what causes this hit to rise to the level of supplemental discipline is the significant head contact on this play, combined with the force.”Rasmussen left with injury and did not return.
