from Arthur J. Regner of the Wings' website,

"Mike Green is out, I'm going to use the timetable 3-5 weeks. I think all those are always flexible. But right now, we're looking at 3-5 weeks for Mike Green," Blashill said. "We'll call Filip Hronek up. We're going to end up sending Brian Lashoff down, so that Lash can play.

"The reason we're making that switch is Fil's skill set obviously, is much more similar to Mike Green in terms of a skater, puck mover, potential power-play guy, although (Niklas) Kronwall will spend some time on the power play in Green's spot as well.
