Fabian Brunnstrom News

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings allowed forward and expectant father Fabian Brunnstrom to stay home today after practice rather than fly with the team to Boston tonight for Friday's game against the Bruins.

While Brunnstrom will be technically on the roster, he will not play in Friday's tilt against the Bruins. Keep him out of the lineup if you own him. Prior to the demotion, the Swedish winger registered an assist in four games.

As previously stated, if Brunnstrom works out anywhere in the NHL, it will be with the Red Wings. Look for him to draw into a top six role at some point due to injuries or inconsistency.
