Kronwall took a maintenance day but is expected to suit up for tomorrow's game. The bruising d-man registered four goals and seven points through 15 games. Play him with confidence tomorrow.
Kronwall is now signed with the Red Wings through age 38. In long-term leagues he remains the successor to Hall-of-Fame defender Niklas Lidstrom. He should be owned in 100 percent of fantasy hockey leagues.
Kronwall is expected to lead the team in ice time and almost has, playing roughly a minute less than Ian White and Nicklas Lidstrom. Expect the Stockholm, Sweden native to score around 10 goals and 40 points with a tidy plus/minus and a few PP.
With Nicklas Lidstrom also pondering retirement, Kronwall's becomes an even more important cog in the Red Wings's system. Last season he scored 11 goals and 37 points in 77 games. Look for him to top those stats this season.
Kronwall scored 11 goals and 37 points in 77 games last season. There is no reason to believe, if healthy, he can't repeat those numbers.
