Jakub Kindl News

Defenseman Jakub Kindl left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury and will not return.

Kindl is the latest Red Wings defender to get hurt. In his second full season with the team he has a goal and 12 points. Expect the team to make a roster move if he can't play.

This will put Jakub Kindl back in the lineup, for now, and might prompt general manager Ken Holland to look for a depth defenseman, in addition to a forward, by Monday's 3 p.m. trade deadline.

Kindl should fill in well on the third pairing. He scored a goal and 11 points in 47 games.
