The Daily: Berggren, Czarnik Being Recalled?; Landeskog Skating

Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff noted forwards Jonatan Berggren and Austin Czarnik were both healthy scratches for the Grand Rapids Griffins Sunday game. Duff wonders if that meant they were on their way to Dallas to join the Red Wings.

The Red Wings are playing the Dallas Stars tonight and the status for Dylan Larkin, David Perron and J.T. Compher are up in the air. Perron will likely be suspended for his crosscheck to the head of Ottawa defenseman Artem Zub. He received a match penalty for intent to injury. He has been offered an in-person hearing. That’s usually an indication of a multiple-game suspension. Hockey insider Kevin Weekes reported Larkin’s medical tests showed no substantial damage after he was knocked unconscious in Saturday’s loss to Ottawa. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s ready to play.

Compher has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury. Also, Klim Kostin missed Saturday’s game with an illness. Traditionally, flu bugs jump from one player to another in an NHL dressing room.

We will probably know more after today’s morning skate in Dallas.

Berggren and Czarnik are the logical choices for a call-up. Veteran Czarnik is a favorite of Detroit coaches because he’s a responsible two-way player and Berggren has 11 points, including five goals, in his past 10 games for the Griffins.
