You asked for it, you got it. More injuries!
Darren Helm is out tonight with a wrist injury. He apparently suffered it on Saturday but is unable to go today. Kris Newbury has been called up from Grand Rapids.
Meanwhile, the Chief points out that Aaron Ward is on waivers. Part of me says "Why the hell not?" but part of me says "If Carolina is waiving him he can't be that much better than Lebda."
Ha! Newbury on his second shift. Fantastic.
I did not catch his goal sadly, but props to Newbury 
That's a way to make an impression.
Eaves with a shorty. Nice, nice shot.
And Eaves scores. I like the outcome so far!
I wonder why the god of injuries loves the Wings so much.
So Ericsson's hurt and Phoenix scores all on the same play. f*ck this season.
As was mentioned at A2Y... Aaron Ward?

Yeah but Lebda is terrifying and if he's better (even if not by much!
I say there's a spark of hope. Haha.

I forget that you're too young to remember Aaron Ward as a Wing.

True, but look at Bertuzzi's amazing comeback!
sh*t, as long as we're talking comebacks, lets get Murphy in gear and on the ice.
Ericsson's out for the game (and I'm guessing a bit longer).
Meech thinks he's gonna replace Big E. I'm okay with that for now.
Now that was crazy.
Hardly fair, Eaves beats Bryzgalov twice on the same play and no goal to show for it.
I think someone used a defibrillator on the Wings when I wasn't looking! Or anyone else, for that matter
Ugh, and then Phoenix gets back in it.
Anyone remember, has Detroit's opposition suffered an injury against the Red Wings at all this season? I don't count Luongo, the Canucks said his injury came in the game before Detroit.
Thought Bert had one there. Wow.

Bill reminds me that Tootoo broke his foot on Saturday.

That hardly seems fair to make up for all of the Wings injuries.
That note about Boyer having jerseys for every player is also why Justin Abdelkaer has #8 and Brad Stuart has #23. Those numbers were vacated by players moved out of the Detroit organization earlier in the season.
And they hold on to win. I'm not breathing a sigh of relief thanks to the Ericsson injury but a win is a win.
Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports that Jonathan Ericsson is expected to miss at least two weeks with a deep bone bruise.
The Red Wings have called up Doug Janik from the Grand Rapids Griffins to fill in for Ericsson.
I thought Janik looked pretty solid in his last appearance...nothing flashy, but dependable and responsible....I'd like to see Kindl again, too. He had the misfortune to play in one of the Wings' less energetic efforts.
