The Detroit Red Wings have recalled Erik Gustafsson from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins as a precautionary measure. Simon Edvinsson’s illness has prompted this move, with Gustafsson stepping in as an insurance policy. At 33, Gustafsson is a seasoned veteran with 15 years of NHL experience. Despite his impressive career stats, he lost his NHL spot to rookie Axel Sandin Pellikka. Now, he’s back with the Red Wings, but his chances of playing are slim as coach Todd McLellan has expressed satisfaction with Jacob Bernard-Docker’s performance. Join us as we delve into Gustafsson’s journey and the reasons behind his recall.
