Detroit Red Wings Forced to Make Emergency Roster Move Ahead of Clash Against Canadiens Tuesday
Ahead of a must-win game in Montreal against the Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Tuesday, the Detroit Red Wings have completed an emergency roster move, sparking great concern for tonight's game.
The Red Wings have officially completed an emergency roster move, leaving many to wonder which forward of the roster will be sidelined due to injury.
There is chances that Elmer Soderblom re-aggravated his injury, or something much bigger could be taking place.
Or has Dylan Larkin's lingering injury caught up to him, forcing him to have a game off?
Regardless, the Red Wings' lineup who is on a two-game winning skid will be altered due to emergency conditions that have yet to be announced.
Red Wings recall Austin Watson from Grand Rapids
The Red Wings have recalled a gritty-enforcer from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, which is one bonus to the current roster that lacks grit offensively.
Austin Watson also has two goals in eight games played with the Red Wings this season, and 42-points in 58 games with Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League.
UPDATE: The #RedWings have recalled Austin Watson from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins under emergency conditions.
The Red Wings are now in must-win territory to keep their post-season hopes alive, trailing the Montreal Canadiens by six points, but they have one less game played.
Meaning with two points (a win) against the Canadiens on Tuesday would put the Red Wings within four points of the second wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference.
Can the Red Wings perform under pressure? Tonight will be the tale of the season.
