Detroit Red Wings defenseman Ian White is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Calgary Flames.
White has been sidelined for four games with a fractured orbital bone suffered in a game against Dallas on Nov. 12.

Rookie Brendan Smith played well in White's absence and will remain with the Red Wings, who sent left wing Fabian Brunnstrom to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League to clear a roster slot for White.
