The Detroit Red Wings are without forward @Carter Rowney once again after he suffered a lower-body injury during Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Rowney was playing in just his fourth game since making his return from a lengthy injury-related absence on Feb. 23. The 32-year-old forward left Friday’s contest early in the second period after blocking a @Victor Hedman blast with his shin.
During the third period, the Red Wings announced that Rowney would not return as a result of his lower-body injury.
