Red Wings release Bobby Ryan from tryout, roster settling into shape

Detroit — The Red Wings' roster is beginning to take shape, with one big domino Monday possibly settling some things.

Bobby Ryan, who was in camp on a professional tryout, was released, likely creating a spot for rookie forward Lucas Raymond.

Coach Jeff Blashill said the team will evaluate up until the 5 p.m. deadline to make final determinations.

Michael Rasmussen, Givani Smith and Adam Erne are all battling injuries. Whether any of them go on the injured list or are ready to play Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning will be factors.
