We knew something was up earlier, with MLive’s Michael Zuidema quoting Griffins head coach Curt Fraser. But a pair of Red Wings press releases have made it official: Joakim Andersson has been sent down, and Chris Conner has been recalled to the big club after just being sent down on Monday.
Holmstrom and Eaves are on IR — Helm is still active, but might not be available to play yet. With Conner on the roster, the team sits at 22 players — one below the limit.
With Jan Mursak scheduled to come back to Detroit in the next few days, something’s going to have to be done to activate Tomas Holmstrom, likely Gustav Nyquist being sent back down.
