Maltby Will Have Shoulder Surgery

from Ansar Khan of Mlive, Detroit Red Wings forward Kirk Maltby said today that he will have shoulder surgery next week, keeping him out for the remainder of the regular season.

Lilja said he expects to be in the lineup Monday at Colorado, in the frist game following the Olympic break. continued
