Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews left Sunday night's game against the Penguins with an apparent left arm injury after getting hit into the boards by Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik, according to an ESPN.com report.

Henrik Zetterberg wants to play in the NHL playoffs, according to an ESPN.com report.

"That's the goal," Zetterberg said Wednesday, speaking to reporters for the first time since he had back surgery Feb 21.

The Red Wings would be in its 23rd straight postseason if the regular season ended Wednesday, but it is in a logjam for one of two spots in the Eastern Conference wild-card race.

Zetterberg is aiming to return after the playoffs begin April 16.

Penguins center Evgeni Malkin will miss two to three weeks while recovering from a foot injury, according to an ESPN.com report.

Malkin is seventh in the league with 72 points despite missing 11 games for various reasons. 

Brandon Sutter will replace Malkin's spot on the second line. 

Blackhawks star forward Patrick Kane will miss the remainder of the regular season due to a lower-body injury, but he is expected to return for the start of the playoffs after being placed on long-term injured reserve Friday, according to an ESPN.com report.

Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane will miss "about three weeks," according to coach Joel Quenneville, after leaving Wednesday's game against the Blues with an apparent lower-body injury during the second period.

Stars forward Rich Peverley had surgery Tuesday at Cleveland Clinic to correct an abnormal heart rhythm, but no decision has been made about whether he will play hockey again, according to an ESPN.com report.

At the least, Peverley is out for the rest of this season.

Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson was hit by a shot and suffered a broken finger Tuesday night against the Maple Leafs. He will miss at least two weeks and may require surgery, according to an ESPN.com report.

Stars forward Rich Peverley will not play again this season and will undergo a procedure aimed at regulating his heart rate, according to an ESPN.com report.

The surgery, which will take place in Cleveland, was originally scheduled for the offseason.

Recovery time is a few months.

Rich Peverely of the Stars, who has a history with heart issues, was removed from the bench Monday night after collapsing and play was stopped in the first period of their game against the Blue Jackets.

The game was postponed after a roughly 15-minute delay while the Stars consulted with the NHL.
