As the Detroit Red Wings come out of break, Michael Rasmussen is headed to the minors.
He was assigned to Grand Rapids Wednesday for a conditioning stint. He hasn’t played since being sidelined by a nagging hamstring injury Jan. 4.
Rasmussen, 19, has six goals and seven assists in 41 games with the Wings. He is tied for second on the team with three power play goals. Rasmussen, the ninth overall pick in 2017, is not eligible to play in Grand Rapids this season except on a conditioning stint because he has junior eligibility left.
