Speaking of apples, I’m sure everyone knows that old saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Well, the members of the Detroit Red Wings haven’t been eating their apples. As we head into Spring the trees are starting to bud; the grass will be green before you know it.
For the Wings, the tree keeps dropping leaves. Justin Abdelkader is the latest victim; he is expected to be out for the remainder of the season with a hairline fracture in his leg. Veteran defensemen Jonathan Ericsson, Mike Green, and Trevor Daley all remain out with various injuries.
