The Red Wings have recalled Simon Edvinsson from Grand Rapids (AHL).

Olli Maatta picked up a knock in Friday's win over the Flyers, so Edvinsson will likely make his season debut on Saturday. The 2021 No.6 overall pick has been great in the AHL this season, leading all Griffins defensemen with 16 points (6G / 10A) in 25 games. Edvinsson had two goals in nine games with the Red Wings a season ago.

The Red Wings assigned Simon Edvinsson to Grand Rapids (AHL).

Edvinsson made his NHL debut last season, tallying two points (2G / 0A) in nine games with the Red Wings but will begin this year's campaign in the AHL. The former sixth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft will likely see some time in the NHL this season but, barring any injuries, is unlikely to be a regular in the lineup.

Simon Edvinsson had surgery on his left shoulder and is expected to be out for 4 to 6 months.

Edvinsson had two goals, 40 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -7 plus/minus across nine games in his first showing with the Detroit Red Wings this season but will now be forced to miss 4-6 months as he recovers from left shoulder surgery. The 20-year-old was Detroit's 2021 first-round pick (6th overall) and will hope to have an update as we return for the 2023-24 season.

Simon Edvinsson is expected to draw back into the Red Wings' lineup Thursday vs. Carolina.

Edvinsson has a goal, four SOG, six PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through three games played and was a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh but will draw back into the lineup Thursday vs. Carolina. The 20-year-old will replace Gustav Lindstrom in the Wings' lineup.

Edvinsson (undisclosed) is questionable to play Tuesday in St. Louis.

Edvinsson left Monday's game after a hit from Radko Gudas but was able to return and finish the game. Head coach Derek Lalonde said that Edvinsson is not feeling very good, so he's questionable to play Tuesday. With Gustav Lindstrom also banged up, the Red Wings may need to recall a defenseman if both are unavailable.
