While Simon Edvinsson’s absence casts an early shadow over training camp, the Red Wings did receive encouraging news on another player
The Detroit Red Wings opened training camp with a 62-man roster, but one name was conspicuously absent: Simon Edvinsson.
The young defenseman sustained a lower-body injury that will sideline him for both training camp and the preseason slate.
General manager Steve Yzerman declined to provide specifics regarding the nature of the injury, but he did express optimism that Edvinsson should be ready for Opening Night.
