Tomas Holmstrom flew back to Detroit today instead of traveling to Minnesota with the Red Wings. He'll have an MRI done on the right knee Saturday morning that was injured during Thursday's game in St. Louis. Results of the MRI should be known later Saturday.
Holmstrom's knee was swollen, Friday, and he felt discomfort.
"We don't think it's significant," said general manager Ken Holland.
Holmstrom will not be in the lineup Saturday. Aaron Downey will return to the ice after two games as a healthy scratch, unless a roster move is made.
After Saturday's game, the Red Wings are off until next Wednesday.
