A little surprising given that Grand Rapids plays today and tomorrow:
UPDATE: The Detroit #RedWings today recalled center Joe Veleno from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins.

Update: There’s no morning skate today, so we’re left to speculate as to how Veleno fits in:
Joe Veleno has been recalled by Red Wings for tonight’s game at Toronto. Tyler Bertuzzi not available because he cannot travel to Canada because he’s unvaccinated. Adam Erne was in pain last night after blocking shot.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) October 30, 2021
None of Adam Erne, Mitchell Stephens or Carter Rowney saw another shift after that epic block party we saw last night, but Erne took the worst of those shots. Wondering if that’s why Veleno is up rather than just going with Smith— Winging It In Motown (@wingingitmotown) October 30, 2021
Everybody else is Tweeting it, so I might as well:
Yep, Veleno is up while Bertuzzi is suspended, but one of Erne/Fabbri/etc. might have gotten hurt as well last night.
No morning skate = we won’t know until warm-ups.— George Malik (@georgemalik) October 30, 2021
