Versteeg is dealing with a groin injury and is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks, Derek Willis of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Versteeg was placed on injured reserve Saturday, and it seems that a Nov. 20 road contest against the Red Wings is the earliest he'd be able to return to game action. Look for coach Glen Gulutzan to shake up the forwards lines to make up for the loss of Versteeg on the left wing. Freddie Hamilton, a center, is currently the only spare on the active roster.
