Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Dion Phaneuf is expected to be out for the foreseeable future with an upper-body injury.

Head coach Peter Horachek said Phaneuf is listed as week-to-week with the injury which he aggravated in the last game before the All-Star break against the Ottawa Senators.

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger is reporting that Phaneuf hurt his hand during a fight against Eric Staal on Jan. 19 in a loss against the Carolina Hurricanes. Phaneuf then got into another fight with Senators forward Milan Michalek during the first period and went straight to the dressing room after the altercation. He was late in returning to action for the second period. 

The Leafs captain missed practice Monday on the first day back from the break. 

Phaneuf, 29, has two goals and 20 assists over 48 games this season with the Leafs.

Since being traded to Toronto, the only time Phaneuf has missed any time due to injury was in November 2010 when he missed 16 games with a leg laceration.
