General manager Ken Holland said the results of Tomas Holmstrom's MRI were negative, which is great news for the Red Wings. With neither the MRI or ultrasound showing damage to his lower abdominal region, Holmstrom could be back on the ice soon.
"Our hope is it's an inflammation," said Holland. "He's been feeling better and we hope he can skate tomorrow. If he continues to have problems, we'll run more tests. Right now, all reports are positive."
Holmstrom said that he will try to practice tomorrow morning with the team. He won't play tomorrow night ... his second straight game out after experiencing sharp abdominal pains at Saturday's practice.
