Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said Quincey (ankle) will return at some point during their six-game road trip that ends Jan. 14, but won't be back Thursday evening against the Sharks, Dana Wakiji of FOX Sports Detroit reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Thursday, Detroit has three games remaining on this latest road trip and it sounds like he'll be ready to play at some point during that stretch. Alexei Marchenko, for one, has started to pick up plenty of minutes on the blue line with Quincey out, logging at least 20 minutes of ice time in each of the last two contests.
