Red Wings' Evgeny Svechnikov: Out 5-6 months for ACL repair

This is a huge blow to a Red Wings franchise that remains winless on the season. Svechnikov is a talented power forward who'd been hoping to claim a full-time role at the top level. He's only played in 14 NHL games to date, adding two goals and just as many helpers over that span.

Red Wings' Evgeny Svechnikov: Dealing with injury

Svechnikov got hurt in Detroit's finale preseason game, and apparently it was bad enough to get him put on IR. It was unlikely the 21-year-old was going to make the roster out of camp, and when he's healthy the odds are that he will be doing his rehabbing at AHL Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Evgeny Svechnikov: Leaves practice early

The burgeoning power forward picked up a power-play assist over 14:23 of ice time in the preseason finale, which culminated in a 5-1 victory at Little Caesar's Arena. Svechnikov is on the roster bubble, but if his injury lingers, the Wings could have him resume hockey activities with AHL Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Evgeni Svechnikov: Fed perfectly for first preseason tally

Givani Smith managed to evade multiple defenders and then delivered a slick pass to fellow winger prospect Svechnikov, who had a wide-open look at the net. The 6-foot-3, 212-pound Russian is gradually seeing more opportunities with the parent club. So far, he's produced two goals and two assists through 16 games spread out over the past two seasons.

Red Wings' Evgeni Svechnikov: Returned to minors

Svechnikov got off to a slow start with the Red Wings, owning just one goal and no assists over his first 11 career games. He seemed to be piecing things together lately, however, tallying a goal and two assists over the last three contests. Detroit likely demoted its 21-year-old prospect to assist the team's AHL affiliate as it makes a playoff push.
