Red Wings' Mitch Callahan: Called up to Detroit

Callahan was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.

With agitator Steve Ott off to Montreal, the Red Wings probably wanted to add another physical presence and Callahan certainly fits the bill. The American winger has maintained his physical style of play in the AHL this season but has also become more offensive-minded, as his 22 assists tie a career high. He'll likely slide into a bottom-six role with Detroit if and when he does draw into games.
