ESPN - Detroit Red Wings forward Dan Cleary will reportedly miss six to eight weeks after breaking his jaw on Saturday, according to ESPN.com.
Cleary will need surgery on a broken jaw suffered in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss against Toronto and will be out six to eight weeks, according to The Sports Network of Canada. He was hit in the face by the puck in the first period.
"He's been playing real well for us," teammate Nicklas Lidstrom told the Detroit Free Press. "He is one of our key players on the power play on the second unit, and I think he's been coming along real well, hanging on to the puck and making plays."

So who gets the call up to replace and who steps up and matches his output. I would personally like to see Kopecky get more minutes, im a fan. Ellis the call up?
