Detroit — Madison Bowey didn’t see this coming.
Bowey, the young defenseman acquired last season for Nick Jensen at the trade deadline, was placed on waivers Monday.
If Bowey clears waivers by noon Tuesday, he’ll be assigned to Grand Rapids.
All of it caught Bowey off-guard after Monday’s practice, knowing he'd likely be in the minor leagues or with another NHL team in 24 hours.
“For sure,” Bowey said of being surprised.
