Detroit — It appears Jonathan Ericsson may have played his last game in a Red Wings’ uniform.
The veteran defenseman was placed on waivers Tuesday, likely ending the 35-year-old’s career with the Wings.
Ericsson can be claimed by another team until Wednesday at noon, though it’s unlikely too many teams will be interested given Ericsson’s injury history of late and he’s in the final year of a contract that’ll pay him $4.25 million this season.
If Ericsson goes unclaimed, he can report to the Grand Rapids Griffins or be bought out.
