Red Wings announce “emergency” roster move

Fire up the grill, because it's time for some burgers. 

The Detroit Red Wings have announced that they've called up forward Jonatan Berggren from the American Hockey League affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins. In a corresponding move, they've placed forward Robby Fabbri, who will be absent for at least the next month with a lower body injury, on Injured Reserve retroactive to October 12. 

Thanks to his efforts last season, Berggren was named Detroit's rookie of the year: 

"Berggren, 22, skated in 67 games with the Red Wings during the 2022-23 season and ranked among the NHL's rookie leaders with 15 goals (7th), 28 points (14th), five power play goals (T3rd), nine power play points (T7th) and a 15.3 shooting percentage (3rd). The 5-foot-11, 197-pound forward recorded the highest shooting percentage of any Red Wings rookie (minimum one shot per team game) since Henrik Zetterberg finished at a 16.3% clip in 2002-03. Berggren picked up an assist in his NHL debut on Nov. 10 against the New York Rangers and scored his first career NHL goal on Nov. 15 at Anaheim. He tallied six points (2-4-6) through his first nine NHL games, becoming the eighth Red Wings rookie in the last 30 years to record at least six points through their first nine contests, joining Lucas Raymond (4-5-9 in 2021-22), Moritz Seider (0-8-8 in 2021-22), Filip Zadina (1-5-6 in 2019-20), Taro Hirose (1-6-7 in 2018-19), Dennis Cholowski (2-4-6 in 2018-19), Dylan Larkin (2-5-7 in 2015-16) and Zetterberg (3-3-6 in 2002-03)."
