Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson, who missed Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames with an upper-body injury, is doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils, according to coach Jeff Blashill.
“Today was not much better,” said Ericsson, who said that if there were a game tonight, he wouldn’t have played.
Ericsson said he suffered the injury midway through the third period of the 4-3 shoot-out loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Friday.
“Got worse as long as the game went on and worse the day after,” Ericsson said.
