On the Wings

Update (2:17 PM): … Ansar Khan has an injury update for us:

Goaltender Chris Osgood practiced Monday for the first time in eight days but said his sore left wrist didn’t feel good. He will have it looked at by doctors on Tuesday and said he doesn’t know when he’ll return to the lineup.

Osgood said he doesn’t think the wrist is broken, but X-rays in Vancouver were inconclusive because of the swelling. He hurt it in practice last Sunday, getting hit by a shot.

A possible broken wrist? Great. If it does turn out to be broken, our goaltending got kinda thin real fast.

Also, Josh Langfeld and Stefan Liv are back in GR since Holmstrom is returning Wednesday and the team no longer needs someone to back up the temporary backup. - Matt

… Henrik Zetterberg is signing autographs at Hockeytown Authentics tonight beginning at 6:00 ET. It’s only one item per person and I believe you need to have a smoke detector to donate. If Christy, posting at LGW Forums, is right, you also need to have a wristband to get in. Click here for directions, if you need them.

… Both papers report that Tomas Holmstrom will return Wednesday* against the Canucks. As for Niklas Kronwall, the situation isn’t so sure:

“He flies around a hundred miles an hour — I don’t know (why he isn’t ready), that’s why we have therapists,” Babcock said.

Kronwall himself believes he’ll be back for the game and is hoping to “skate full-out” today.

… Greg Wyshynski has a piece up covering The Hockey Recap, a site I’ve praised before. Definitely worth a read.

… Not a ton Wings-related out there this morning, which is okay since I’m up early to study anyway. I’ll most likely have an update for this post later.

*I had entered the game incorrectly in my calendar, which is what I’ve been going on, hence my repeatedly saying the next game is tomorrow instead of the next day.
