#RedWings calling up Joakim Andersson to offset loss of Todd Bertuzzi.
Andersson has 10 G and 17 A in 36 games this season for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. He has only played 5 games in the NHL. If he cracks the Red WIngs lineup and scores he could stay up with the big club, depending on how long Bertuzzi is out, but for now he is irrelevant in fantasy.
DETROIT – The Wings recalled forward Joakim Andersson from Grand Rapids to replace Tomas Holmstrom in the lineup.
Andersson scored eight goals and 17 points through 29 AHL games this season. He likely fills in better on the fourth line than Tomas Tatar or Gustav Nyquist.
DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings assigned eight players today to the Grand Rapids Griffins: forwards Chris Conner, Joakim Andersson and Landon Ferraro; defensemen Doug Janik, Garnet Exelby and Brian Lashoff; and goaltenders Joey MacDonald and Jordan Pearce.
