Johan Franzen News

The Red Wings have several players who can perform better in 2011-12, none more so than a trio of top-six forwards -- Johan Franzen, Valtteri Filppula and Jiri Hudler -- who coach Mike Babcock said need to have "bounce-back years."

Franzen scored 28 goals and 55 points last season in what was deemed a down season for him. Expect him to climb above 30 goals this season as he enters the season in good health.
