Despite the fact he is progressing nicely from a groin injury, Stephen Weiss will likely not suit up against the Senators Saturday.
The Wings tend to be very conservative in their treatment of groin injuries and usually err on the side of caution when deciding if players are ready to return to action. GM Ken Holland spelled out the team's position in that regard. "We're in a marathon. Our experience with groins is that a re-injury can cost another 10 games." We therefore doubt you will see Weiss in Saturday's contest. Barring a setback, Weiss should be able to return to action Wednesday against the Bruins.
