Detroit Red Wings defenseman Kyle Quincey will undergo surgery on his injured right ankle this weekend, GM Ken Holland said, according to MLive's Ansar Khan.

He's expected to be sidelined for another six weeks.

Quincey was placed on injured reserve in late October after suffering a concussion.

The 6-foot-2, 216-pounder made 73 appearances for the Wings last season, amassing 18 points and 77 penalty minutes.
