Coach Jeff Blashill on Danny DeKeyser's injury, and the Wings' disappointing loss The Detroit News
Detroit – Steven Stamkos, the Lightning sniper, is known for his powerful shot, and when he hit Danny DeKeyser low on the left arm Tuesday the Red Wings’ defenseman skated off in pain.
DeKeyser, a leader in time on ice among Wings’ defensemen -- who also plays on the penalty kill -- is lost for four to six weeks, Jeff Blashill said Wednesday.
Filip Hronek, one of the Red Wings' best prospects among defensemen and a second-round pick in 2016, 53rd overall, playing in Grand Rapids, will not replace DeKeyser, the coach said.
