PITTSBURGH -- The Detroit Red Wings today recalled center Tomas Nosek and defenseman Brian Lashoff from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Neither is expected to be in the lineup tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena (7 p,m., Fox Sports Detroit).
The injury-riddled Red Wings, prior to the recalls, had 12 healthy forwards. They had planned to insert Drew Miller into the lineup tonight. They also have six healthy defensemen, but might rest Niklas Kronwall Sunday at the New York Islanders, in a back-to-back situation.
Nosek has two goals and eight assists in 11 games this season for the Griffins.
