Trevor Daley News

The Red Wings have placed Trevor Daley (lower-body) on IR.

Daley was forced to leave Sunday’s game after playing just 7:25 TOI and did not return. The Red Wings traded for Alex Biega after the game, which led some to speculate that Daley will be out for an extended period of time. Madison Bowey will likely replace him in the lineup on Tuesday but Biega was also recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) following Daley’s move to IR.

Daley left Sunday’s game with an undisclosed injury and will not play on Tuesday.

Daley left midway through the Red Wings home-opening win and did not return. Head coach Jeff Blashill told reporters post-game that Daley won’t play Tuesday vs. the Ducks and then the Red Wings acquired Alex Biega from the Canucks, suggesting that Daley could miss an extended period of time. Expect a more detailed injury report to be released prior to Tuesday’s contest.

Daley (lower-body) will be back in the Red Wings lineup on Monday.

Daley has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but will draw back into the lineup vs. the Kings. Offensively, it has been quiet year for Daley, picking up just five points (1G / 4A) in 21 games. He’s expected to replace Luke Witkowski in the lineup.

Daley was injured early in Monday’s game in Los Angeles and missed Tuesday’s game in Anaheim. The veteran defenseman has been ruled out of Thursday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs and Saturday’s game in Boston. Libor Sulak and Joe Hicketts will remain in the lineup with both Daley and Jonathan Ericsson out.
