Forward Tyler Bertuzzi was also injured in the contest, with GM Ken Holland weighing in on the situation after the game. "We know they are out a bit," Holland said. "Not sure how long." The Red Wings have been depleted by injuries lately, and the loss of Smith means that there's now only six healthy defensemen on the active roster. Depending on the return timetable for Smith, it might be in the team's best interest to recall a rearguard from AHL Grand Rapids.
