You can add Justin Abdelkader's name to those of forwards Erik Cole, Tomas Jurco and Johan Franzen as the injuries begin to pile up for the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings shorthanded at the worst possible juncture in the season and this has forced the Wings to make a roster move prior to Tuesday’s tilt against Carolina. Abdelkader hurt his hand while blocking a shot in Sunday’s loss to Washington which has forced the Wings to recall Landon Ferraro from Grand Rapids. Ferraro, 23, is having the best AHL campaign of his career, with a personal high of 27 goals in 70 games. He is the son of former NHLer Ray Ferraro and made made his big-league debut last season, appearing in four games. He has played exclusively with the Griffins this season due in large part to Detroit’s depth of forwards at the NHL level. Losing Abdelkader is a huge loss, hopefully they can get it done without him.
