Svechnikov, following a strong first pro season with the Grand Rapids Griffins, has struggled most of this season. He has seven goals and 14 assists in 49 games....
"I know Svech has played very well the last little bit," Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. "I'm sure as the season goes along over the last 20 (games) I would foresee him getting an opportunity to show what he's about.
"He wasn't ready earlier in the year, he went through struggles, but that's OK, that's part of what life's about.
