Injured Reserve Notes: Kasper, Appleton, Spurgeon
The Detroit Red Wings have activated forwards Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton from injured reserve, the team announced.
Two insertions into the lineup that Detroit will welcome with open arms, as they will face St. Louis tonight. Kasper, because of an upper-body injury, has been out for some time. The injury stemmed from Kasper’s second-period fight against New York Rangers defenseman Sean Durzi. Kasper went scoreless in the Red Wings’ season opener, but he earned an impressive 71.4% success rate in the faceoff dot. He enters the final season of a three-year, entry-level contract coming off of a down year from his first full NHL season, 19 points in 2025-26 well off his 37 points in 2024-25.
