Red Wings' Troy Stecher: May require surgery

Stecher will take the next few weeks to see how his undisclosed injury heals before deciding whether to undergo surgery, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Stecher's potentially lengthy absence would impact Detroit's depth at defense, but it wouldn't affect many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up one helper through six games this season. Another update on Stecher's status should surface once it's determined whether his undisclosed injury will require surgery.
