DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk will miss four weeks with a broken right hand/wrist, coach Mike Babcock said following his team's 5-4 overtime victory Wednesday over the Vancouver Canucks

"It's unfortunate, there's nothing we can do about it. We got to find a way to dig in, just like we did tonight to get the game done,'' Babcock said. "More opportunity for someone else. We know Pav's a good player and we know he's coming back. He gets a little bit of vacation so he's ready for the playoffs.''

Datsyuk does not need surgery. His hand will be placed in a cast.

"It sounds like something that's going to heal, no problem,'' Babcock said. "It's just a matter where he needs some time.''

Datsyuk was injured with about 1:30 remaining in the first period, when he tripped over former teammate Mikael Samuelsson in front of the Vancouver net and landed awkwardly on the wrist.

I was watching NHL on the fly and they said that it was a broken hand. Likely out 4-5 weeks. Don't know how accurate this is, but its what I heard on the NHL network.

Could be worse, I guess. Everyone going on about the four thousand bones exploding in his wrist had me a bit worried.

Damn.... Wellllll, here we go. Time to dig deep guys.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Get well soon, Pasha!

Well the team needs to ramp it up. One player doth not make a team. They can do it. They did it tonight.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

More so s***s on his Selke campaign and Hart nomination he was possibly going for. Just get better now Pavs.

[Jusek 437]

Well, Samuelsson can go f*** himself...

[Systemfel 33]

Well, Samuelsson can go f*** himself...

He's gonna get it next time.

So does this mean there's a chance they call someone up. I'd like to see Mursak, Emmerton, Filppula, or Tatar get some time in the NHL so we know what we have for next year.

That's why announcers shouldn't be served alcohol during games.

Hopefully Babs won't replace our best player with our worst (Draper)

How about bringing in Kindl and moving Ericsson up to forward as an experiment?

Think that might mess up his development?

ok huds.....heres your chance, get after it

Here's a wonderful opportunity for all our players who aren't performing the way they want to grab the reins and lead this team.

Okay Ritola! Now's your time to shine! .... goddamnit

[Ram 240]

Man, hate this. Hope some guys can step up.

Heard from some at the game that he messed up his shoulder, saw walking out of the Joe in a sling.
