The Detroit Red Wings held a team workout at Little Caesars Arena and packed their gear for a road trip to Los Angeles and Anaheim, and after their workout, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill updated the team’s injury situation, per the Detroit News’s Gregg Krupa and MLive’s Ansar Khan:
#RedWings Blashill said Ericsson (upper body injury) out for both games in California, Sunday at LA and Monday at Anaheim. Kronwall expected to play one of the games. Wings didn’t skate today, working out off ice.
