COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Detroit Red Wings will be calling up one forward, if not two.
Thomas Vanek has been lost to a lower body injury for at least two-to-three weeks, coach Jeff Blashill said after Tuesday’s 5-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena. Vanek appeared to hurt a knee after being hit in the first period. Vanek set up a goal Tuesday for his fourth point in his last five games.
Christoffer Ehn is a likely candidate to be called up, as he played nine games before being assigned to Grand Rapids Oct.
