Wow. I am very surprised, but I guess the fact that the jaw fracture requires surgery means he can't go out there and wear a cage like some players do for broken jaws. Still, that's a huge blow to the Wings and a lot more time out than I had thought. Maybe it's more than just a broken jaw, i.e. broken cheek bone, orbital, etc. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=229304&hubname=nhl

Don Cherry seemed to think he'd be back soon and added "Way to go, Danny, you'll be alright, hang in there."
