Brian Lashoff News

Lashoff played in one game with Red Wings before the break but was a healthy scratch in their most recent game. The 29-year-old has six points (2G / 4A) in 25 AHL games this season.

Lashoff comes up to replace Jonathan Ericsson () on the roster. Lashoff has appeared in just 10 NHL games over the last three years and has six points (2G / 4A) in 25 AHL games this season.

With Trevor Daley out for at least three weeks, Lashoff likely comes up simply as a reserve defenseman. Lashoff will likely sit as the seventh D-man until Danny DeKeyser is ready to re-join the team. Lashoff has registered seven assists in 26 games this season.

Lashoff has picked up three assists in 17 AHL games this season and has been recalled from the AHL to serve as an extra defenseman on Thursday. If he ends up playing in Toronto, Lashoff would replace Luke Witkowski.

Lashoff has been recalled because Trevor Daley (upper-body) is questionable to play on Friday and Danny DeKeyser is still recovering from an ankle injury. The 6-foot-3, 221 lbs. defenseman has just one goal and one assist in 13 AHL games this season, so he doesn’t bring any daily fantasy appeal to tonight’s two-game slate.

Lashoff was given more NHL opportunities earlier in his career, but has been primarily an AHL defenseman for the last three seasons. In 2016-17, he had 11 points (3G / 8A) in 62 games and had four points (1G / 3A) in 17 playoff games en route to winning a Calder Cup a month ago.

Lashoff has been a healthy scratch for the last six games, so he will return to Grand Rapids to get in some game action. Lashoff has one goal and two assists in 18 games with the Griffins.

Lashoff was expected to be back in the Red Wings' lineup for Mike Green (upper-body), but he was hit in the mouth by a puck during the morning skate and his status for tonight is uncertain. Nick Jensen was recalled this morning and would make his NHL debut if Lashoff is unable to play.

Lashoff, 26, has collected one goal and two assists (three points) in 18 games with Grand Rapids this season. He has appeared in 117 career NHL games with the Red Wings, having picked up 13 points (2G / 11A).

Lashoff has two assists and a plus-4 rating in 11 games with the Red Wings this season. His demotion opens up a roster spot for either Alexey Marcheko or Xavier Ouellet to stay with the big-club full time.

Lashoff has been a healthy scratch in every game since December 29th. He has two assists in 11 games with the Red Wings this season.

Lashoff had a goal, four assists and a minus-10 rating in 31 games with the Red Wings last season.

Lashoff was the victim of a Ben Lovejoy dangle that won the Ducks Game 5 which might be the reason why he is sitting the pine tonight.

Babcock said he will insert Lashoff into DeKeyser's spot alongside Jakub Kindl, at least to start the game.

Over the weekend, coach Mike Babcock said Lashoff would go to the minors for an opportunity to play rather than sit on the sidelines in Detroit.

With the addition of Danny DeKeyser and the return of Carlo Colaiacovo the Red Wings have a surplus of healthy defensemen. Lashoff has been sent down to get some playing time.

Lashoff had just one assist and was a minus-7 in his last 10 games.
