The immediate status report on Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen is that his departure from Saturday's game looked worse that it was.

A redirection for rookie forward Marco Kasper was the only goal that beat either team’s goalie in Saturday’s 2-0 win for the Detroit Red Wings over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kasper scored on a netfront deflection, the puck hitting the right post and finding the back of the Tampa Bay net for a 1-0 lead midway through the second period.
