Jacob De La Rose News

The Blues have acquired Jacob de la Rose from the Red Wings for Robby Fabbri.

de la Rose was originally a second-round pick of the Canadiens in 2013 but has been with the Red Wings since 2018 after being claimed on waivers in October 2018. de la Rose has just 13 points (4G / 9A) in 76 games with Detroit but is an effective penalty killer and will battle with MacKenzie MacEachern for playing time on the fourth line.

De La Rose (upper-body) will not play on Tuesday; possible he returns on Thursday.

De La Rose will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. the Rangers last Friday. De La Rose has recorded one goal and one assist while averaging 14:20 TOI/gm in his first seven games with the Red Wings. They’ve leaned heavily on him in the D-zone, starting him there 62.7 percent of the time and that has led to a disastrous 39.6 CorsiFor% and -11.3 CF% rel.

De La Rose (cardiac episode) will not travel with the team for Wednesday’s season opener.

De La Rose will not make the trip to Toronto on Tuesday because he was not medically cleared to travel and will remain in Montreal for ongoing evaluation. De La Rose likely wasn’t going to crack the opening night lineup anyways.
