Detroit Red Wings Lose Defenceman Danny DeKeyser<\/a> for Multiple Weeks<\/h1>\n

DeKeyser was injured on Tuesday\u00a0when he blocked a shot from Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> forward Steven Stamkos<\/a><\/strong>. The shot appeared to hit him in the hand.<\/p>\n

DeKeyser has one goal and six assists for seven points in 19 games this season. He has also added 21 penalty minutes. His possession numbers are 47.0 percent Corsi-For with a -0.8 relative Corsi.\u00a0Last\u00a0season, he scored six goals and six assists for 12 points in 65 games played. He also added 28 minutes in penalties. His possession numbers were 49.2 percent Corsi-For and a relative Corsi of +0.8. DeKeyser originally joined the Red Wings as an undrafted college free agent in 2012.<\/p>\n

DeKeyser has spent his entire seven-year NHL career with the Red Wings. He has put up 25 goals and 81 assists for 106 career points in 400 career games. DeKeyser has also added one goal and one assist in 19 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.<\/p>\n

Mantha Placed on Injured Reserve<\/h2>\n

Forward Anthony Mantha<\/strong> also suffered a hand injury. He was hurt when he fought Colorado Avalanche<\/a>\u00a0defenseman Patrik Nemeth<\/a><\/strong> in Sunday’s game. Earlier, Nemeth had laid a hit on Red Wings centre Dylan Larkin<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was sticking up for Larkin in that case, who got his head run against the boards \u2026 I know this, he\u2019d do it again. And I\u2019m good with him doing it again. I want him to do it again. We want to make sure we\u2019re sticking up for each other,\u201d head coach\u00a0Jeff Blashill<\/strong> told the team\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mantha has nine goals and five assists for 14 points in 27 games this season. He has also added 17 minutes in penalties. His possession numbers have been stellar, with a 55.8 percent Corsi-For, and a +12.2 relative Corsi. Last season, Mantha scored 24 goals and 48 points in 80 games. He put up a 51.8 percent Corsi-For, and a +4.1 relative Corsi.<\/p>\n

Mantha has played in parts of four NHL seasons for the Red Wings. He has scored 52 goals and 49 assists for 101 points in 177 career NHL games. The Red Wings drafted Mantha in the first round, 20th overall, at the 2013\u00a0NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n
