Detroit – Michael Rasmussen will stay in the AHL for one more game.
The Red Wings sent Rasmussen to Grand Rapids last week at the conclusion of the Wings’ bye week for a conditioning stint.
He scored two goals (one an empty net) in his Griffins debut Thursday against Texas, then was held scoreless the next night in San Antonio (no shots on net). The Griffins host Manitoba on Wednesday.
Rasmussen had been bothered by hamstring issues and hadn’t played since Jan. 4.
Because of the lengthy time between games, the Wings felt it was best for Rasmussen to have a brief stay in Grand Rapids.
