Injury update: Smith and Bertuzzi on 7 Day IR, Smith possibly out longer, Jurco recalled

Late this morning, we received news about the injury status of Tyler Bertuzzi and Brendan Smith, both injured last game against the Canadiens.

First, we have this information:

Seven days seems very optimistic considering how bad Smith’s knee looked. Ansar Khan spoke to Ken Holland, who gave him a four week estimate on Smith.

Considering that Andreas Athanasiou is still two weeks away after being two weeks away two weeks ago, take the four week estimate with a shaker of salt.

We also received confirmation that Tomas Jurco is being recalled from his conditioning stint in Grand Rapids.
