Glendening has been out since February 17th due to a lower-body injury and was placed on the injured reserve Wednesday retroactively to that date. The 33-year-old had two goals, two assists,49 SOG, 44 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus through 56 games prior to the injury.

Glendening (hand) could return to the Red Wings lineup on Tuesday.

Glendening has been out since December 20th but it looks like he might be back in the second game of a back-to-back to kick-off the week. Even when he’s in the lineup, Glendening doesn’t have a lot of fantasy appeal—he has just 10 points (7G / 3A) in 34 games this season.

Glendening left Wednesday’s game with a right hand injury and did not return.

Glendening blocked a shot off of his hand in the first period of Wednesday’s loss to the Flyers. Glendening originally stayed on the bench but didn’t return for the second period and head coach Jeff Blashill did not have a time frame for Glendening’s return.

The Red Wings signed Luke Glendening to a four-year extension worth $7.2 million ($1.8M AAV).

Glendening, 27, is coming off of the best offensive year of his brief career, having picked up 21 points (8G / 13A) in 81 games. He has only missed one game over the last two years and led Red Wings forwards in face-off percentage and shorthanded time on ice last season. It appears Glendening will be the Red Wings’ fourth line centre for the next five seasons.
