But the Wings should get at least one key piece back soon -- Henrik Zetterberg is expected to return Dec. 28 in Florida against the Panthers, according to general manager Ken Holland (per MLive.com.)

Detroit has three games before Dec. 28, starting tonight at Joe Louis Arena versus Calgary. The Wings are then in Toronto Saturday before returning home to face the Islanders Monday.

As for Stephen Weiss, it’s not clear whether he’ll need surgery for his groin/abdominal issue. He’ll apparently see a specialist Friday in Philadelphia to determine next steps.
