Rash of injuries spur Red Wings to call up Nosek, Lashoff

PITTSBURGH — The Detroit Red Wings have made two call-ups as they deal with numerous injuries.

Forward Tomas Nosek and defenseman Brian Lashoff are joining the Wings in Pittsburgh, where tonight they play the Penguins (7 p.m., FSD) at PPG Paints Arena.

The Wings play their next three games on the road, and were down to just 12 forwards and six defensemen because of injuries. They play again Sunday at the Islanders, and Tuesday at Winnipeg.
