Detroit Red Wings make decision on Jonatan Berggren
Earlier today, the Detroit Red Wings learned that forward Robby Fabbri would be missing the next four weeks due to a lower-body injury. Consequently, Fabbri was placed on the injured reserve list. In response, the Red Wings have announced the emergency recall of forward Jonatan Berggren from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Why it Matters
This move provides Berggren with the opportunity he didn’t initially get during the training camp. Despite an impressive AHL performance last year, where he had a point-per-game start, Berggren surprisingly didn’t secure a spot on the Red Wings’ roster at the beginning of this season.
Jonatan Berggren By The Numbers
In his rookie year, Berggren showed promise, scoring 15 goals and 13 assists in 67 games, making him the ninth-highest scorer on the team. However, with the offseason additions of several forwards and the return of Fabbri and Michael Rasmussen, it has been difficult for Berggren to crack the Red Wings roster.
TL;DR (too long didn’t read)
- Detroit Red Wings forward Robby Fabbri will be sidelined for four weeks due to a lower-body injury, leading to his placement on the injured reserve list.
- In response to Fabbri’s injury, the Red Wings have recalled Jonatan Berggren from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins under emergency conditions.
- Berggren, who had an impressive rookie season with the Red Wings last year, initially didn’t make the team out of training camp this season due to increased competition in the forward positions.
Bottom Line: A Second Chance for Berggren
While Jonatan Berggren may not have made the Red Wings’ roster at the start of the season, his emergency recall signifies a second opportunity to showcase his skills. In the world of professional sports, fortunes can change in an instant, and this recall could be the turning point in Berggren’s young career.
