Detroit lost both Henrik Zetterberg and James Neal to injury in Game 4. Neal will return for Game 5 of the Phoenix series (if necessary) or the Stanley Cup Finals. Zetterberg could only return to the Phoenix series in case of a Game 7. If not, the team expects him back after the start of the Cup Finals.
