After undergoing surgery to repair a severed tendon in his right wrist, Detroit Red Wings forward Mike Modano will be out indefinitely.
Modano, who had had two goals and six assists for Detroit before sustaining the injury, will now have to consider whether or not it's time to call it a career after 20 seasons in the NHL.
Although manager Ken Holland indicated in an interview with mlive.com that the surgery was successful, doctors are still not sure just how long Modano could be out for.
"A guy lost his balance and a skate came up and Mike was sort of stretched out and the skate got under the glove and did significant damage. The doctor wants to give it a little time to see how he heals. It's a significant injury and it's going to take a significant period of time."
Head coach Mike Babcock explained the impact that the injury will have on Modano and on the team when he said, "The loss for the team is one thing, but the loss for him, the playing time and to get orientated and get ready. But it's important he doesn't lose touch with the team and stays involved and keeps coming to grips with how we play and what we do, because that'll help him.
"The commitment he's going to have to make off-ice is going to be as big as he's ever made in his career. Because when you arrive back, everything's going 900 miles an hour. It's different when you're 25, than when you're 35. Those are challenges for him."
Modano is in fact 40, and after a signing with Detroit during the off-season after a tremendous career with the Dallas Stars, and making him the all-time leader among American-born players, it could well be time for Modano to call it a career. How his healing process goes could go a long way in determining what kind of decision Modano makes concerning his future.

Dion Phaneuf: Underware model?
From safer stockings to protective longjohns, Dion Phaneuf is taking no chances when it comes to avoiding being sliced open again.
Having been out more than a month after being seriously gashed behind the knee by the skate of Ottawa’s Peter Regin during a Nov. 2 game at the Air Canada Centre, the Maple Leafs captain is testing a variety of preventative equipment options he hopes will keep history from repeating itself.
“I’ve suffered cuts twice in three years that have kept me out of action for extended periods of time so I’m open to anything that will help,” Phaneuf said in the ACC press box during the second intermission of the Leafs-Boston Bruins game Saturday night.
“I think it’s important, especially at the grass-roots level. I remember when they made neck guards a requirement in minor hockey. Maybe some day some of this equipment will help too.”
Various companies including Nike and Tuff-N-Lite Hockey are working on projects to do just that.
Phaneuf has been working out with socks he says “are not cut proof but are more cut resistant.” He also is having long underwear made that should have the same protective effect.
“It’s personal preference for every player,” he said. “But at least these things will give me a fighting chance.”
Given what Phaneuf has been through, that’s all he can ask for.
