DETROIT, Mich. - The Red Wings will be without top defenseman Danny DeKeyser for at least two games after he suffered an upper body injury in Detroit's Wednesday night 2-1 shootout loss to Toronto.
DeKeyser has appeared in 29 contests for Detroit, picking up 11 points (10 assists, 1 goal), the best mark among defensemen this season.
He served regular shifts Wednesday night and it is not known how or when he acquired the injury, though it is not believed to be serious, says GM Ken Holland.
The 24-year-old will miss the team's matchups on Friday against Florida and their Saturday meeting in Toronto, and will likely return against Columbus on Tuesday.
Xavier Ouellet of AHL Grand Rapids has been signed up to replace him.
