Kronwall is set for further evaluation after sustaining a lower-body injury in Wednesday's game against the Ducks, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kronwall was limited to 12:13 of ice time in the latest loss, managing only one shot on goal but blocking two. With just one point in the past 15 games, the hard-hitting defender's ownership rates figure to be quite low, but this injury -- no matter how severe it ends up being -- serves up another blow to a Red Wings team that has struggled with injuries and is dangerously close to last place in the Atlantic Division. In the likely event that Kronwall is held out of Thursday's game against the Kings, look for Ryan Sproul to draw into the contest. Of course, Brendan Smith (leg) is also injured, meaning the club may need to summon a player from the minors if it looks like both rearguards will miss this next one.
