On Sunday, August 26th, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill addressed the media about Zetterberg’s ability to play this season. The quotes he gave were concerning, to say the least.
Here are some tweets from Red Wings writers conveying what Blashill said:
Blashill said Zetterberg has not been able to train. All signs are that it will be difficult for him to be cleared.

Blashill said if Zetterberg is not cleared, he would not expect him to be cleared later. The Red Wings have Plan A and Plan B.
