DETROIT, MICH -- It's been announced that the Red Wings have reassigned forward Eric Tangradi, defenseman Nick Jensen, and have recalled Joakim Andersson.
I don't really understand the point of this. The team is idle until February 3rd due to the All-Star Game. The only thing that makes sense is that the organization likely wants Jensen and Tangradi playing instead of sitting around. Tangradi played just over six minutes in his Red Wings debut, while Jensen is still working on making his debut.
Tangradi didn't look bad, but he also didn't do anything that 'wowed' me.
