Detroit — The Red Wings basically haven’t had Danny DeKeyser all season, and now it appears they won’t for the rest of the season.
Coach Jeff Blashill said DeKeyser was set to undergo back surgery Tuesday and probably will miss the remainder of the regular season.
The veteran defenseman only played eight games, with four points (all assists), and an even plus-minus rating. He hasn’t played since Oct. 22 against Vancouver.
“DK will be out for a significant amount of time,” Blashill said.
