Red Wings' Ryan expected to miss rest of season with upper-body injury

Detroit Red Wings forward Bobby Ryan is expected to miss the remainder of the 2021 season due to an upper-body injury, head coach Jeff Blashill announced Friday.

Ryan has been sidelined for Detroit's last six contests. The 34-year-old recorded 14 points in 33 games this season. He was previously rumored to be available ahead of the April 12 trade deadline.

Bobby Ryan, out for the season, is still a decent low-event bottom six winger and would've been a solid depth pickup. Sucks. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/DoNyfs49ox

Ryan joined the Red Wings on a one-year, $1-million contract this past offseason. He won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 2020 while with the Ottawa Senators for his perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game.
