from Chris McKosky of the Detroit News,
Survive the next eight games; that’s the immediate mission for the Red Wings.
“Hopefully we are getting all our bad luck out of the way early,” general manager Ken Holland said, after announcing Thursday that Danny Cleary will be lost for three to six weeks because of a separated shoulder. “We have eight games until Christmas. If we can survive this stretch and manage to grind out a few wins and stay attached to the pack, I think we’ll be OK. I think we’re going to get an extended Christmas present here in a couple of weeks.”
Here’s what he means by that:
• Valtteri Filppula, out because of a broken wrist, is expected back by Dec. 26.
• Niklas Kronwall, out because of a knee injury, is expected to return a week after that.
• And then Jason Williams, out because of a fractured leg, and Cleary could be back by the second week in January.
continued and one question- When did Dan Cleary become Danny Cleary?
