Ericsson won't be re-signed by the Red Wings, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Ericsson split time between the NHL and AHL last season while costing the team $4.25 million against the cap, it shouldn't come as a surprise the organization is going to move in a different direction. At 36 years of age, this could be the end of the line for Ericsson. If that's the case, he'll retire having played in 680 games, all for the Wings, in which he notched 27 goals, 98 helpers and 694 shots.

Ericsson hasn't recorded a point through 18 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Between getting waived, his subsequent trip to AHL Grand Rapids, and a facial injury that cost him a trip to injured reserve, Ericsson hasn't seen much time at the top level. The Swedish blueliner is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and with the league understandably at a standstill given the current events, it's quite possible Ericsson has already played his last game for Detroit.

Ericsson will play in Sunday's game versus the Flames, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings are holding Mike Green out with the trade deadline approaching, so Ericsson will get back into the lineup for the first time since Feb. 1. The 35-year-old Ericsson hasn't notched a point over 11 NHL games this year.

Detroit placed Ericsson on waivers Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old has played sparingly in 2019-20, going pointless across 11 appearances with the Red Wings. If he goes unclaimed, Ericsson will report to AHL Grand Rapids.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has missed the last 11 games due to this injury, but he's been a healthy scratch often this year anyway. Although the veteran blueliner is healthy again, it wouldn't be surprising if he stays in the press box Tuesday versus the Islanders.

Detroit placed Ericsson (face) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings have a break in their schedule next week, so now that he's been placed on IR, Ericsson won't be eligible to return to the lineup until Dec. 28 against the Panthers. Either way, the veteran blueliner has gone scoreless while posting a minus-7 rating in nine games this campaign, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to track his status.

Ericsson (nose) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson took a stick to the nose in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Kings, so his status is uncertain for Tuesday's clash. If Ericsson plays, there's a good chance he wears a full mask for added protection. The veteran blueliner has zero points and a minus-7 rating over nine games.

Ericsson (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson missed Saturday's contest in Montreal with his mysterious injury but looks ready to go again after a one-game absence. He'll skate next to Filip Hronek on the second pair while he looks for his first NHL point of the season.

Ericsson sustained an undisclosed injury versus Winnipeg on Thursday and won't be available for Saturday's clash with Montreal, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Red Wings heading into a back-to-back, it seems likely that Ericsson will also be unavailable against the Kings on Sunday. The blueliner's absence will open the door for Dylan McIlrath or the recently recalled Madison Bowey to slot into the lineup.

The Red Wings recalled Ericsson from AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson will get another chance with the big club, as he's already appeared in seven NHL games this season, going pointless while averaging 17:19 of ice time. It's unclear if the Swede will draw into the lineup right away, but his first chance to suit up will be in Monday's game against the Islanders.
