Tomorrow night will be an important game for the Detroit Red Wings, as they will be taking on the Washington Capitals, who had recently taken the 2nd wildcard spot in the East, after winning 2 straight.

This means the Red Wings will have to overcome a slight hump to gain that ground again, after losing a game to the Nashville Predators on Saturday.

This will be a critical game for the Wings, and in the meantime, they're busy making roster moves.

They have sent forward Jonatan Berggren to the AHL and the Grand Rapid Griffins, which means he won't see NHL action again this season unless any injuries arise.




Per the official press release:

""Berggren appeared in three games with Detroit from March 9-14 during his most recent call up, showing one assist and a minus-five rating. In total, the 2024 AHL All-Star has accumulated six points (2-4—6), two penalty minutes and a minus-one rating in 12 outings with the Red Wings this season. Berggren has been proficient in the AHL, as he is on an active six-game point streak (3-5—8) and leads the roster in points (19-27—46), assists (27) and goals (19) through 43 appearances this season. The prospect also has 22 points (11-11—22) in his last 19 games from Jan. 13-March 4 and 31 points (14-17—31) in his last 27 contests from Dec. 15-March 4.

A season ago, the 23-year-old registered seven points (4-3—7) in seven appearances for Grand Rapids, on top of producing 28 points (15-13—28) in 67 contests with the Red Wings. During the 2021-22 campaign, Berggren broke the Griffins' rookie single season scoring record with 64 points (21-43—64) in 70 games, five more points than the previous record held by Teemu Pulkkinen (2013-14). Throughout three AHL seasons, Berggren has established 117 points (44-73—117) in 120 appearances. Berggren has also notched 34 points (17-17—34) in 79 NHL games with Detroit."
