With Valtteri Filppula out 6-8 weeks because of a broken bone in his right wrist, this almost certainly necessitates the Wings break up Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk because of a shortage of skilled centers. Zetterberg and Datsyuk started the season separately, anyways, and only were reunited because neither was doing much offensively. Now both have gotten going, with Datsyuk having racked up...
