As the Red Wings have moved deeper into the season, they've had to reinvent lines to mask the absences of Johan Franzen, Valtteri Filppula and Jason Williams.

The Red Wings came into Tuesday scoreless in their seven power-play chances since Valtteri Filppula broke his wrist and 2 for 18 in the last four games.

Injured center Valtteri Filppula will not need surgery on his broken right wrist, which puts his return closer to six weeks rather than eight weeks. Meanwhile, some of the newcomers to the Red Wings will get the chance to showcase their skills.

He got his first goal as a Red Wing on Thursday in Edmonton, and after Valtteri Filppula broke his right wrist in the same game, Eaves is getting his first real chance to contribute.
