05/12/2008 - Dallas, TX (Hockey Betting) - Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen is still experiencing concussion-like symptoms and will not be available to play in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars on Monday.
Franzen was also scratched from the Wings' lineup in Game 2, a 2-1 Detroit victory.
The Red Wings lead the best-of-seven series, 2-0.
Franzen is scheduled to remain in Detroit to undergo testing on Monday and will not return to the lineup until the testing and further evaluation is completed.
Franzen has a league-high and franchise-record 12 goals in the postseason. He is the first player to score 12 playoff goals since Rob Brind'Amour for Carolina in 2006. Five of his goals have been game-winners and he has also added three assists.
Meanwhile, the Red Wings also announced the signing of Finnish star forward Ville Leino to a one-year entry level contract.
Leino, who played for Jokerit in the Finnish Elite League during the 2007-08 season, led his team in scoring with 77 points in 55 games and received the Oskanen Award, given annually to the league's best player in the regular season.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
