Holmstrom cut near eye, but prognosis is good
Ansar Khan has an update on the forward’s condition over at his blog:
The Wings are listing Holmstrom as day-to-day, but his left eye was swollen shut Monday, so it’s hard to imagine he’d be ready to start the second round series, which will begin on Thursday.
Holmstrom will see an eye specialist in Detroit on Tuesday. He saw an eye doctor in Calgary Monday morning and Holland said the team was encouraged that the doctor allowed Holmstrom to fly home with the club.
“He was real bad when he left the rink (Sunday night), but this morning he made significant improvement,’’ Holland said. “We’ll see over the next 48 to 72 hours how it’ll heal.’’
Well at least the prognosis is reasonably positive. That’s a great sign for Homer. It obviously could have been much worse. Khan also reports that Brett Lebda is day to day as he is still suffering from headaches due to a concussion and also is still gimpy due to the ankle injury he sustained in Game 5.
Otherwise Red Wings general manager Ken Holland reports the team is in good shape healthwise. In more entertaining Red Wings-related info, Matt over at On the Wings posted a hilarious photoshop of the Lord of the Rings movie poster that features the Red Wings.
