DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Eaves will miss at least a week with a lower-body injury. The club has recalled Jan Mursak from the Grand Rapids Griffins for Thursday's game against Dallas at Joe Louis Arena.



General manager Ken Holland said the team hasn't received results from the MRI Eaves had today.



"He's so stiff he can't move,'' Holland said. "He's out a minimum of a week.''



Holland said they won't be sure what the injury is until they get the MRI results but that Eaves is sore through the groin and lower body.



Eaves was injured midway through the second period of Wednesday's 4-3 loss to San Jose when he checked Torrey Mitchell behind the Sharks net and their knees collided.
