Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey will miss a little more time than originally believed.

The 30-year-old will have ankle surgery Saturday and is expected to be out 9-12 weeks.

Originally, it was believed that the surgery would keep him out for six weeks, but it looks as though he'll be sidelined longer.

Quincey hasn't played since Oct. 23 and has one goal and two assists in seven games.
