Red Wings' Datsyuk will undergo MRI, expects to be off ice for a week

Charles LeClaire / USA Today

The Detroit Red Wings may have been a little banged up in their first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday, but it was a shoulder injury to Pavel Datsyuk that was front and center.

Datsyuk was pinched off into the boards by Penguins defenseman Rob Scuderi and left the game with a sore shoulder.

Datsyuk will likely sit out the rest of the seven preseason games to prepare for the regular season.
