The Detroit Red Wings are coming off a fantastic weekend in which they picked up four points and have now won five straight games. Last week, it was announced Robby Fabbri would be out for a month, and then on Friday, one of the Detroit forwards had left practice with an injury and would be out this weekend; that player was later found out to be Klim Kostin, whom many were expecting to end up fighting someone on Senators with Ottawa and Detroit having a newly formed rivalry.
With Kostin and Fabbri out, the Red Wings called up Jonatan Berggren on emergency load for the weekend, and he played in only Sunday’s game and failed to register a point. Today, the Red Wings sent Berggren back to the AHL to the Grand Rapids Griffins, which means you’d expect Kostin to be back for tomorrow night’s game against the Seattle Kraken due to how the emergency loan rule which is “When a team is short players “because of incapacitating injury or illness or by league suspension to its players,” per the CBA, teams recall players by emergency recall. Once the emergency situation has ended, the player must be returned to the team from which he had been recalled, or re-assigned on paper and then recalled via standard recall”.
Roster Moves By The Numbers
Jonatan Berggren
Berggren last season played in 67 games and recorded 28 points, coming on 13 goals and 13 assists. This season, in that one game, he failed to record a point and finished with one shot on goal. With Grand Rapids this season, he has played in two games and recorded three points on three assists.
Klim Kostin
The Edmonton Oilers traded Kostin to the Red Wings in the offseason, and in four games, he has no points and is a minus one as well as seven PIM, which is what he’s in the lineup for us to add an intimidator for the Red Wings. He does have three shots on goal, one block, and six hits.
