The Free Press’s Helene St. James reports worrisome news about Tyler Motte, who toe-picked off the goalpost to the right of Alexandar Georgiev and fell face-first into the boards during the second period of the Wings’ 6-3 loss to San Jose:

Todd McLellan said Red Wings might have to call someone up, described Tyler Motte, who didn't return for 3p after sustaining upper-body injury as "in rough shape" after hitting boards face first.
