In an effort to maintain his fitness, the Detroit Red Wings sent the maligned forward down to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League, the team announced Tuesday.
Weiss has appeared in just a single game this season, registering over eight minutes of ice time on 12 shifts against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 18.
He will continue earning his $4-million salary in Grand Rapids.
