Andersson, 27, has split his time between the Red Wings and the Griffins this season. He has just three points (1G / 2A) in 28 games with Detroit and three goals, two assists in 19 games with Grand Rapids. There’s no word if his recall is injury related or if the Red Wings are looking to get a more defensive minded player on their fourth line in Saturday’s season finale.
Joakim Andersson News
Andersson was a healthy scratch in the last three games, so he heads to Grand Rapids, where he will look to get some games in.
Andersson was sent down prior to Monday’s game in Brooklyn, but has been recalled for the All-Star break. There’s no word if another roster move will be made after the break.
Andersson missed Monday’s game with an illness, but could be back in the lineup tonight. If Andersson returns to the lineup, expect Dan Cleary to be a healthy scratch.
Andersson was set to take Henrik Zetterberg's place on Monday in Anaheim, but an illness will keep him out of tonight's lineup. He will be replaced by veteran Daniel Cleary.
Andersson in on a line expected to provide the Wings with plenty of energy.
Andersson missed the last six games with hairline fracture in his foot, he will replace Todd Bertuzzi who will miss tonight's game with the flu.
Andersson has missed the last six games with a broken foot, but could be back tonight vs. the Wild. Andersson had a good day of practice on Friday, so his chances of returning look pretty good right now.
Andersson said that he felt good after his first full practice since breaking his foot. He would not commit to how soon he would return, but said it will matter with how much pain he can deal with. He will not play tomorrow but monitor Andersson's status before Sunday's game vs. the WIld.
Andersson broke his foot while blocking a shot on the penalty kill on Sunday. Add him to the list of injured centreman in Detroit. Expect Cory Emmerton to draw into the lineup vs. the Blue Jackets.
Andersson missed the last six games, but will return to the Red Wings injury ravaged lineup tonight. He will skate on what is listed as the top-line, with Gustav Nyquist and Justin Abdelkader, but the Wings really have lines 2A, 2B, 2C right now.
Andersson has 10 G and 17 A in 36 games this season for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. He has only played 5 games in the NHL. If he cracks the Red WIngs lineup and scores he could stay up with the big club, depending on how long Bertuzzi is out, but for now he is irrelevant in fantasy.
Andersson has no points in five games. Going back to the AHL is an indication Justin Abdelkader can play tonight.
Andersson is likely insurance for a banged-up Henrik Zetterberg. Check back for a further update from the team.
Andersson had no points in four games.
As usual, the Wings will work their youngster into the lineup.
Andersson scored eight goals and 17 points through 29 AHL games this season. He likely fills in better on the fourth line than Tomas Tatar or Gustav Nyquist.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
