The Red Wings continue to lose games and players at a steady pace.
They lost Wednesday at Minnesota, 4-1 to the Wild, seeing the Wings seeing their winless streak extend to four games.
Elmer Soderblom, recalled earlier in the day to replace Dylan Larkin (lower-body), scored the Red Wings' goal, while goalie Magnus Hellberg stopped 18 shots in his Wings' regular-season debut.
But the losing streak continued and the Wings (13-10-6) also lost another player.
The Wings saw defenseman Filip Hronek exit early in the first period after Hronek was on the receiving end of a thunderous hit by Minnesota's Ryan Reaves.
