Rotowire
Luff is expected to miss 10-12 weeks and undergo wrist surgery Thursday. In addition, Luff has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

With Tyler Bertuzzi (hand) nearing a return to action, Luff may have found himself bumped from the lineup away. Given his timeline, Luff shouldn't be expected back until mid-January at the earliest.
