Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry has reportedly undergone surgery and will likely miss an extended amount of time.

On Sunday night, National Hockey League insider Frank Seravalli revealed that, after already missing a month of action, Petry has gone under the knife for corrective surgery. The Red Wings have not disclosed the nature of Petry's injury but according to Seravalli he will now miss the next six to eight weeks while recovering from the surgery.

Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli, Detroit Red Wings’ defenseman Jeff Petry is someone teams can probably remove from their trade bait boards.
