Blackhawks’ Patrick Sharp suffers upper-body injury

The Chicago Blackhawks have had a rough time recently. Having lost five of its last six games, the team has fallen to third place in the Central Division and it may have to try and climb back out of its hole without the help of Patrick Sharp, who scored one of the team's goals in its 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings Sunday.

The 30-year-old Sharp, who has scored 20 goals and notched 20 assists this season, went down with an upper-body injury in the first period and didn't return to the game, the Chicago Tribune reports.

"We're going to have some tests with him (and we'll) know more (Monday)," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said, the Tribune reports.
