The Wings have called up Doug Janik from Grand Rapids to fill in for Brian Rafalski tonight. Rafalski did not skate today after missing yesterday’s practice with the flu.
I’m not that familiar with Janik, but what I do know is he’s a defensive defenseman. My wife says, “I have no complaints about Janik. He seems pretty solid. He’s got 6 points in 10 games, with 1 goal. And he’s +4, which is an achievement on the Griffins. He’s got 15 PIM, but I’m pretty sure they were all fights.”
It’ll be interesting to see how the units shake out with the absence of Rafalski.
Fortunately, Kronwall looks ready to play tonight after missing the skate yesterday due to the flu. Ericsson, however, did not skate, so it’s looking like another night of Meech.
