Lagesson logged three assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 6-3 win over Texas on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson hasn't done much this season, but this was a rare good outing for him. The defenseman has seven points and a plus-15 rating over 12 contests, though that's not all that impressive considering how strong the Griffins' offense has been so far. Lagesson isn't imminently pushing for a call-up, but he could be a replacement if Erik Gustafsson isn't needed on the NHL roster.

Lagesson was put on waivers by Detroit on Wednesday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
EDGE Analysis
During the 2024-25 regular season, Lagesson had an assist in seven games with Detroit as well as three goals and nine points across 23 outings with AHL Grand Rapids. The 29-year-old is expected to rejoin the Griffins if he clears waivers, but he might get another chance with Detroit at some point during the 2025-26 campaign.

Lagesson agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with Detroit on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson saw action in just seven NHL games last year in which he generated one assist while averaging 14:34 of ice time. In the minors, the 29-year-old defenseman wasn't significantly more productive, generating just nine points in 23 outings. Even with a new deal in hand, Lagesson probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside, limiting him to mid-range fantasy value at best.

Lagesson logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings sat Jeff Petry in the second half of a back-to-back, allowing Lagesson to make just his third appearance since the start of January. The helper was Lagesson's first point at the NHL level this season, as he's mostly served as a healthy scratch. He's added four shots on net, five hits, six blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over five appearances. Lagesson will be a free agent this offseason and may have to take a two-way contract to stay in North America.

Lagesson has been scratched for 17 straight games since his Jan. 2 call-up.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson sat out again for Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken. The 28-year-old is serving as the Red Wings' extra defensemen in the absence of Jeff Petry (undisclosed), who is not expected to be back until April at the earliest. Unless the Red Wings are buyers at the trade deadline, Lagesson can be expected to be a regular in the press box until an injury situation necessitates his presence in the lineup.

Lagesson was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson has three goals and nine points in 23 outings with AHL Grand Rapids in 2024-25. Jeff Petry sustained an undisclosed injury during Thursday's 5-4 win over Columbus, so Lagesson's promotion is presumably in response to that. Lagesson provides the Red Wings with insurance, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Lagesson listed as a healthy scratch for Saturday's contest against Winnipeg, even if Petry ends up missing that game.

Lagesson was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson logged two shots on goal and one hit in 15:36 of ice time Monday. It was just his second appearance with Detroit this season. Lagesson will rejoin the Griffins, where he's posted two goals and six helpers through 20 AHL games in 2024-25.

Lagesson was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson had a pair of brief stints with the NHL club earlier this year but hasn't yet entered a game for the Red Wings during the 2024-25 campaign. The 28-year-old will likely serve as an extra defenseman since Simon Edvinsson (upper body) has been ruled out through the weekend.

Lagesson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson was brought up with Jeff Petry (lower body) questionable to play Tuesday. Petry was ultimately good to go, so Lagesson's presence on the NHL roster was no longer necessary. He's been called up a few times, so expect Lagesson to get the call whenever the Red Wings have injury concerns on defense.

Lagesson was promoted from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lagesson has been bouncing back and forth between the NHL and AHL this season but has yet to appear in a game for the Red Wings. With Jeff Petry (lower body) questionable against the Bruins on Tuesday, the 28-year-old Lagesson will provide some emergency depth coverage -- though it's likely he will serve as a healthy scratch with Albert Johansson taking the open spot on the blue line.
