The enthusiasm for a rare Red Wings’ victory Tuesday was dimmed by Jacob de la Rose’s medical scare.
The Swedish forward experienced an accelerated heart rate after the second intermission and had to leave the game.
Coach Jeff Blashill told reporters after the game de la Rose would spend the evening in a New York hospital for precautionary reasons. Howard was to be accompanied on the hospital stay with assistant athletic trainer Russ Baumann.
De la Rose, 23, is expected to see a specialist Wednesday and will not play Thursday when the Red Wings are in St.
