Red Wings' Babcock says Tomas Tatar is 'fine' following collision with official

Tomas Tatar took it on the button, but it doesn't appear the Detroit Red Wings will be without him for opening night following a heavy collision with a linesman Wednesday.

Babcock said after the game that Tatar is "fine," via the Detroit Free Press.

The incident came late in the Red Wings' 2-0 exhibition loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins when Blake Comeau shoved Tatar toward a linesman, who, in an attempt to avoid contact, drove his knee into the young Red Wings' helmet.
