Detroit Red Wings defenseman Ian White (leg) is both optimistic and concerned about his needed time out of his team's lineup. White had surgery on lacerations above his knee Tuesday. The club suggested he would be out two to three weeks. "Unfortunately two or three weeks in this season is quite a few games," White said. "It feels pretty good. I see it being closer to two weeks than three."
