The Detroit Red Wings placed center Andrew Copp on injured reserve on Monday because of an undisclosed injury with no timeline given for his return.

In a corresponding move, the Red Wings recalled center Sheldon Dries from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League.

Copp, 30, was injured in the second period of the 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Copp missed the Red Wings’ 5-4 overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday, and he will not travel with the team for Tuesday’s game at the Wild.

“We will know a lot more (Tuesday), but it looks like it might be longer than we anticipated,” coach Todd McLellan said Monday after practice.

Copp has 10 goals, 13 assists, a plus-4 rating, eight penalty minutes and 35 blocks in 56 games this season.

The Winnipeg Jets selected Copp in the fourth round of the 2013 NHL Draft. He has 114 goals, 186 assists, a plus-73 rating, 149 penalty minutes and 371 blocks in 700 regular-season games for the Jets (2014-2022), New York Rangers (2022) and Red Wings (2022-present).

Copp also has 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists), a minus-5 rating and 16 penalty minutes in 54 playoff games.

Dries, 30, last played in the 2022-23 season for the Vancouver Canucks. He has 16 goals, 10 assists, a minus-20 rating, 59 penalty minutes and 68 blocks in 122 games for the Colorado Avalanche (2018-21) and Canucks (2021-23).
