-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detroit has reassigned the following players to Grand Rapids/Juinors
C. Jarnkrok
T. Pulkkinen
A. Almqvist
D. Holden
A. Marchenko
P. Mrazek
W. Coetzee
L. Ferraro
L. Judson
J. Andersson
R. Sheahan

Biggest surprise is that Tomas Tatar has been sent back down to Grand Rapids. Rookie 2012 draft pick Alex Galchenyuk has earned at least a longer look with the Wings.

Quote:He had a good pre-season and we want to see him against NHL regular lineups so he will be in the lineup opening night against Colorado.

GM Yzerman

Galchenyuk will be on a line with Datsyuk and Franzen
