SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Red Wings forwards Todd Bertuzzi and Danny Cleary left HP Pavilion Thursday night looking woozy.

A team official said both suffered concussions.

Bertuzzi left midway through the first period. He was injured on a hit that ended up being more of a collision with Dany Heatley, hit in the face by Heatley’s head.

Cleary was hurt late in the second period after a collision with Jiri Hudler, who caught Cleary on the chin with an elbow. Cleary hit the hard and lay for several minutes before being helped off.

“Those are two big guys, good at hanging onto the puck and guys that are good at grinding it down low,” Nicklas Lidstrom said. “They’re missed when that happens, especially when you have to juggle the lines and find different combinations that you haven’t seen a whole lot of in this playoffs. It made it harder on us.”

Jimmy Howard said: “Those were huge blows. But our ... guys, we just pulled even closer together. It’s tough when you lose two guys like that that are key to your lineup, but there’s no quit in our locker room. I’m extremely proud of our guys.”

Johan Franzen missed a second straight game because of a sprained ankle. Mike Babcock confirmed Pavel Datsyuk had a sore wrist, which was why he hadn’t been taking faceoffs.

SPECIAL TEAMS COME UP SHORT: The Wings went 0-for-4 with the man advantage while giving up a goal on the first of the Sharks’ three power plays. “It didn’t get it done for us in the end,” Babcock said of the Wings’ power play. “They scored one more power play goal in the series than we did. They got five and we got four. Any way you look at it, they won the specialty teams battle tonight.”
