Prospect round-up: McIsaac, Zadina, Rasmussen injured; Swedish J20 league round-up

The Red Wings’ European-playing prospects are, for the most part, doing quite well as a collective group this year, but there are some concerns injury-wise.

Jared McIsaac and Filip Zadina are nursing hand injuries with HPK in Finland and Ocelari Trinec in the Czech Extraliga, respectively, and, for the last two games, Michael Rasmussen hasn’t played for the Graz99ers for unknown reasons. So today’s game summaries are pretty thin:

In the ICE Hockey League, Rasmussen’s Graz99ers won 6-2 over VSV;

Jesper Eliasson was loaned to the Red Bulls Salzburg, but he’s not even a back-up listed on the game sheet of the Red Bulls’ 4-2 win over KAC;

In the Swedish J20 league, Theodor Niederbach didn’t register a point in the Frolunda Indians’ 5-1 loss to Linkopings HC, nor did Elmer Soderblom;

And William Wallinder registered an assist and a +3 in MODO Hockey’s 4-2 win over Lulea.

Update: Krone.at’s Robert Groiss reports that Jesper Eliasson is now practicing with the Red Bulls Salzburg.

  1. “Rasmussen’s Graz99ers won 6-2 over VSV;”

    Ras not playing because Graz99ers (really??) are winning??

    Ras sightseeing and ended up in another Country?

    Ras not playing because _____________ ?

    Are other teams sending/loaning players to Out of North America Teams to the same extent as the Wings?? Serious Question!!

    1. Rasmussen is probably injured. Graz is marketing him as an impact player.

      As for the second question, yes, in some irony, Ken Holland’s Edmonton Oilers have a gaggle of players loaned out as well.
