Edvinsson Out Again Tonight, To Be Reevaluated After Road Trip

Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson will miss his second straight game tonight against Winnipeg due to a lower-body injury and it appears he’ll be out longer than that as well.  Team reporter Jonathan Mills relays (Twitter link ) that the blueliner will be reevaluated when the team returns home from their current road trip with a decision to be made on which path he will be taking at that time.  That type of decision typically implies that a longer absence is potentially on the table.  That would be a big blow to Detroit’s defensive group as the 22-year-old has been a big part of their success this season.  Through 48 games, Edvinsson has 17 points and 104 blocks while averaging a career-high 22:35 per game.
