DETROIT -- Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios will be the
second Detroit player to have knee surgery this week.

Chelios is expected to have the arthroscopic procedure on his
right knee Friday, Red Wings spokesman John Hahn said. He twisted
it in the third period of Tuesday's 2-1 victory over St. Louis.
Steve Yzerman had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Monday
and will be on crutches four weeks, Hahn said. He worked out with
the team Thursday.
Detroit called up defenseman Todd Gill from Cincinnati on
Wednesday and have scratched Chelios from the lineup for now.
"We have no estimate on how long he will be out," Hahn said
Thursday. "Hopefully tomorrow we'll know," after doctors
determine the seriousness of the injury.
Chelios, 38, is in his 14th NHL season. He was traded to the Red
Wings from Chicago in March 1999. In his first full season with
Detroit, he scored three goals and 31 assists.
