Red Wings' Mike Green out 3-5 weeks; Filip Hronek recalled from G.R.

Detroit — Remember that ugly start to this regular season for the Red Wings? All those key, impactful injuries?

It’s beginning to look like that again.

Coach Jeff Blashill announced after Friday’s morning skate that defenseman Mike Green will be out three to five weeks with a lower-body injury.

The Wings sent down defenseman Brian Lashoff to Grand Rapids, and brought up defenseman Filip Hronek — whose skill set is more similar to Green’s.

Hronek was to be in the lineup Friday against Ottawa.

Green’s injury is the latest of some tough losses throughout the lineup.
