Injury report: Abdelkader, Athanasiou, Bertuzzi, Helm, Larkin and Kaski are all nursing minor injuries

The Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan reports that several members of the Red Wings are injured at present…

Add Justin Abdelkader and Oliwer Kaski to the list of Red Wings nursing minor injuries, joining Dylan Larkin, Andreas Athanasiou, Tyler Bertuzzi and Darren Helm.

Blashill said Larkin has skated on his own the last two days but not with the rest of the team.

“They’re not all the same (injuries) but I don’t expect any of them to not be ready for the regular season,” Blashill said. “Any soft tissue stuff, you worry about pushing them too fast and it turns into two weeks (of missed playing time).”

As does MLive’s Ansar Khan:

The list of players dealing with minor injuries includes Dylan Larkin, Andreas Athanasiou, Tyler Bertuzzi, Justin Abdelkader and Oliwer Kaski.

“Any soft tissue stuff, you worry about pushing them back too fast and it turns into two weeks,” Blashill said. “They’re not all the same, but I don’t expect any of them to not be ready for the regular season. We’re hoping to get them all in on Friday or in some instances Sunday.”

Larkin the past two days but not with team.
