Dallas, TX (Sports Network) - Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen is still experiencing concussion-like symptoms and did not play in Detroit's 5-2 win in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars.

Franzen was also scratched from the Wings' lineup in Game 2, a 2-1 Detroit victory.

The Red Wings lead the best-of-seven series, 3-0.

Franzen is scheduled to remain in Detroit to undergo testing on Monday and will not return to the lineup until the testing and further evaluation is completed.

Franzen has a league-high and franchise-record 12 goals in the postseason. He is the first player to score 12 playoff goals since Rob Brind'Amour for Carolina in 2006. Five of his goals have been game-winners and he has also added three assists.

Meanwhile, the Red Wings also announced the signing of Finnish star forward Ville Leino to a one-year entry level contract.

Leino, who played for Jokerit in the Finnish Elite League during the 2007-08 season, led his team in scoring with 77 points in 55 games and received the Oskanen Award, given annually to the league's best player in the regular season.
