GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- With Danny DeKeyser out with a hand injury, the Red Wings are expected to call up a defenseman from Grand Rapids for Thursday's game in Toronto.

Joe Hicketts might be the guy. Hhe has played 13 games with Detroit the last two seasons and had three assists, and a team-best plus/minus of five in five games with the Wings last season.

The Griffins beat the Rampage, 4-2, Wednesday night at Van Andel Arena.
