Wings GM Ken Holland just told me Jonathan Ericsson is out 3-5 weeks with fractured ribs.
Jakub Kindl...
Where are we on man games lost
145. 8th most of all teams.
but based on this site and their metrics, wings have more because of their injuries. whether the metric is shots, goals, ice time wings are in top 5 or even first.
Yeah. This year, unlike last year, we actually have significant injuries to real players. Not like "Oh noez, Bert and Eaves are injured!" Nope. It's Z, Datsyuk, Helm, Franzen, Nyquist, Deksyer, Ericsson.
last year it was sort of blessing in disguise as kids got their chances because of that.
well it's happening this year too but washed up vets are easier to replace than the players wings have lost this year.

The Wings will not recall a defenseman from Grand Rapids. Holland said they'll go with the six they have.
DAMN-IT
Hopefully it is only 3-5 weeks. Call up Sproul and Marchenko. Ouellet is too important to GR to call up. He can also use the increase in PP time. Waive Kindl and Quincey.
Kronwall-Dekeyser
Lashoff-Smith
Marchenko-Sproul
I am happy the kids are finally getting to play, just sucks Kenneh had to fill the roster with dead weight and keep them from playing sooner.
