Detroit Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha will be sidelined for a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.
Mantha suffered the injury during the first period of Sunday's contest against the New Jersey Devils and did not return to the game.
The 25-year-old leads the Red Wings in both goals (12) and points (23) while averaging a career-high 18:55 of ice time through 25 games this season.
Mantha had points in seven of his previous eight contests prior to Sunday.
