Detroit Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha will be out for the next 4-6 weeks with a hand injury, Head Coach Jeff Blashill announced on Tuesday morning.

Mantha broke his hand in a fight with Patrik Nemeth of the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday afternoon, according to MLive's Ansar Khan.

This isn't the first time Mantha has injured himself in a fight. In March 2017, Mantha broke his finger in a fight with the Tampa Bay Lightning and would miss the team's final five games.
