Red Wings place Kronwall on long-term injured reserve
by from on (#12JZC)
Niklas Kronwall will miss at least another two weeks after being placed on long-term injured reserve by the Detroit Red Wings on Monday.
The Wings' top-pairing defenseman has been out since Jan. 17 with a knee injury that required surgery.
Kronwall isn't eligible for activation until Detroit's Feb. 14 meeting with the Boston Bruins, and will be reevaluated then.
Detroit will receive salary relief with the transaction.
