Wings put Andersson on waivers as scoring search continues
(Photo: David Guralnick, Detroit News)Detroit – Looking for scoring, the Red Wings will return Tomas Tatar (virus) to the lineup Friday night against the Sabres, and they announced they are seeking waivers on defensive forward Joakim Andersson.
The move on Andersson clears cap space, and opens up some possibilities, including calling up a high-scoring forward from Grand Rapids, or to fill the slot if a seventh defenseman is needed while Niklas Kronwall recovers from what was expected to be minor knee surgery.
Tatar was active during Friday’s morning skate in First Niagara Arena and chipper in the dressing room.
