Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen says he had "a good couple of games" in Grand Rapids. Ted Kulfan, The Detroit News
Detroit — Michael Rasmussen never has done anything like this before, so he didn’t know what to expect.
Rasmussen was sent to Grand Rapids for a conditioning assignment, having not played since Jan. 4 because of hamstring issues.
It turns out the three games Rasmussen played before returning Thursday to the Red Wings — he will be in the lineup against Vegas — were a positive experience.
