Grosse Pointe Woods — Defenseman Jakub Kindl will return to the Red Wings lineup Sunday in an afternoon game against the Panthers, coach Jeff Blashill said, and Tomas Jurco will return to the NHL roster after a conditioning stint in Grand Rapids, in which he was red hot.
Continuing the two-goalie system, Petr Mrazek (2.21 goals against average, .931 save percentage) will return in goal after Jimmy Howard playing in the 4-3 overtime win against the Oilers on Friday.
“Right now, we’re going to have him back in tomorrow. Kindl’s actually done a good job,” Blashill said of the 28-year-old defenseman, now in his seventh season and third of four-year contract.
