Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Sustains lower-body injury

Edvinsson (lower body) is expected to miss a couple of weeks, but he should be available "around the start of the regular season," general manager Steve Yzerman told Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site Wednesday.

Edvinsson had seven goals, 31 points, 67 PIM, 86 hits and 144 blocks in 78 outings while averaging 21:07 of ice time with Detroit in 2024-25. He should continue to serve in a top-four capacity this year. If Edvinsson isn't ready for the opener against Montreal on Oct. 9, then that increases the chances of Travis Hamonic playing in that game.
