Coach Jeff Blashill told reporters Tuesday that Niklas Kronwall will miss 2-4 weeks after getting his knee scoped, and that Drew Miller will miss 4-6 months after ACL surgery.

Miller, a winger, has a goal and an assist in 28 games this year. He also broke his jaw in December against the Coyotes.
Kronwall has played in 45 games this year, accumulating three goals and 17 total points.
The Red Wings are 45-23 and second in the East's Atlantic division, and are on pace to make their 25th straight playoff appearance after this season. With 54 points, they're tied with the Islanders for third overall in the East, behind only the Capitals and Panthers.
