Update (2:19 PM): Good point by Helene St. James here. Obviously, Fraser’s anticipating not having Conner this weekend, but we probably won’t know for sure until tomorrow. - Matt
Red Wings make it official, via press release, Joakim Andersson has been returned to @griffinshockey.

Sounds like it’s not because anyone’s healthy, since the Griffins expect to lose Conner. No confirmation on why yet, though. Presumably he’s being recalled.
Andersson has been the weakest link on the all-rookie line, with Nyquist and Emmerton stealing the show. Conner on that line could be fun.
