Montreal — The Red Wings needed an extra forward Tuesday just in case someone presently in the lineup, who is recovering from an injury, wasn’t available to play.
They decided to recall Ben Street, a veteran minor leaguer with a couple stints in the NHL.
Not Evgeny Svechnikov, or Martin Frk, or Matt Lorito, or Tyler Bertuzzi, younger players who have either have yet to play in the NHL, or have gotten brief looks.
Why not take a look at Svechnikov, the 2015 first-round draft pick with 17 goals and 40 points?
