Detroit — Martin Frk was back on the ice Monday, and maybe just in time.
Frk has been battling an oblique injury much of this training camp, and has yet to play in a preseason game.
There are four games left, and Frk could make his preseason debut Wednesday in Boston.
Frk was in a battle to retain his roster spot heading into this camp. Being unable to show what he can do, how he can help this team, until now, makes Frk’s situation all the more precarious.
“It’s hard to make a case for where you belong if you don’t play,” coach Jeff Blashill said after Monday’s practice.
