While Ericsson (lower body) is questionable to face the Golden Knights on Saturday, he's more likely to suit up in San Jose versus the Sharks on Monday, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has missed the past three games, but it's apparent that the 35-year-old defenseman is being evaluated on a consistent basis as he draws closer to a return.

Ericsson (lower body) made the trip to New York but won't play in Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Dana Gauruder, contributor to the Detroit Free Press, reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson will miss his third straight game, but the Wings hope to have the big rearguard in tow by the time their five-game road trip wraps up in Buffalo on March 28.

Ericsson (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson is still recovering from the lower-body injury he suffered during Tuesday's matchup with Vancouver, and remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return to the lineup. Either way, there's no need for fantasy owners to track his availability, as he's only notched five points in 50 contests this campaign. Another update on the veteran blueliner's status should surface once he's given the green light to return to game action.

Ericsson (lower body) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Lightning and could be out more than a week, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings now have just six healthy forwards on the roster, so Madison Bowey is expected to draw into the lineup until Ericsson can return. His next chance to get back will be Saturday versus the Islanders.

Ericsson won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens due to a lower-body injury, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has already battled his fair share of injuries this season, sitting out a total of 20 games thus far. His offensive contributions are minimal with just five points in 49 games, so his absence won't affect the fantasy realm. Madison Bowey figures to enter the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Lightning if Ericsson can't go.

Ericsson has gone 15 straight games without a point.

EDGE Analysis

The big defender wasn't supposed to play Tuesday against the Canadiens, but Trevor Daley sustained an upper-body injury to change those plans. Ericsson is drawing the ire of Red Wings fans as a one-dimensional skater making $4.25 million through the 2019-20 campaign.

Ericsson registered his third goal of the season Thursday, helping his team to a 4-1 road win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson barely had his skates in front of the blue line before lifting the puck from long range for the impressive tally. Detroit isn't known for getting much offensive production from its blueliners, but Ericsson and Niklas Kronwall each found the back of the net to stun the home team.

Ericsson (undisclosed) is in the projected lineup for Friday's game against Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson is likely dealing with a nagging undisclosed issue, but it's clearly not serious enough to hold him out of Friday's contest. The 34-year-old blueliner is expected to skate on Detroit's bottom pairing against the Senators.

Ericsson is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is considered questionable for Friday's matchup with Ottawa, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has already spent two extended stints in the press box due to injuries this season, although this latest issue doesn't sound too serious. With Mike Green (ankle) also less than 100 percent, the Wings may be forced to utilize both Brian Lashoff and Luke Witkowski against the Senators.

Ericsson is no longer on injured reserve per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

The Swede has missed 18 total games this season including 11 consecutive contests while dealing with an undisclosed issue. Seemingly healthy once again, Ericsson has already been ruled out Monday with the team calling the 34-year-old a healthy scratch ahead of the game against Columbus.
