Edvinsson (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Blues.

Edvinsson was on the ice for Monday's morning skate, so he appeared to be trending in the right direction after missing the last two games due to an upper-body injury he sustained Wednesday against Philadelphia. However, he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup. Due to the league's upcoming Christmas break, he'll have several days to rest before the Red Wings face the Maple Leafs on Friday, and he's expected to be back in action for that matchup, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Edvinsson collected two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The young blueliner had a hand in Lucas Raymond tallies in the first and third periods. It's the second multi-point performance in the last five games for Edvinsson, but he was held off the scoresheet entirely in the other three contests. The sixth overall pick in the 2021 Draft is still trying to develop some consistency, but he's had a strong start to his first full season in the NHL, producing three goals and 12 points in 24 contests while adding 46 blocked shots, 32 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-5 rating.
