Injury Report : Major update regarding Jonathan Ericsson
Keystone Press

Last night's game could be costly for the Wings.

Jonathan Ericsson will be out for 6-to-8 weeks due to a fractured wrist. The injury happened yesterday night against the Washington Capitals they were playing against the Detroit Red Wings.


While Ericsson was collecting the puck behind his own net, he got shoved into the boards by the Capitals’ Nicklas Backstrom. 


People don’t have enough respect for what 6-foot-5…and good skating can do for you,” Blashill said. “When you are playing against big, physical men, you need guys that can go against them and handle them as he can."

He doesn’t get enough respect for what he brings to the table. He is a big, physical defenseman that can play against the very best in the league. So when we lost him it was obviously a big loss, and it is going to be a big loss moving forward.
