The Detroit Red Wings will be without forward, Valtteri Filppula, for up to two months after he broke his wrist during the team’s 6-5 loss against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

It’s too bad because the 25-year-old is off to a decent start so far this year. In 11 games he racked up two goals and four assists. It’s not stellar but it’s good enough to miss in the lineup. Well, like I’ve been saying about all of the injuries in this first month of the season, it’s better to heal up now than in the postseason so hopefully this will be the last time he’ll be sidelined this year.
