Red Wings' Calvin Pickard: Sent down to minors
Pickard was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

Red Wings' Calvin Pickard: Needed in relief Wednesday
Pickard allowed three goals on 21 shots in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Blackhawks.
Alex Nedeljkovic was ineffective in the first period, and Pickard played the final two frames. The Red Wings' offense did enough to get their starter off the hook for the loss, leaving Pickard with the result in his 2021-22 debut. The 29-year-old netminder is likely to stay with the big club only until Thomas Greiss clears the COVID-19 protocols. It's unclear if Pickard will draw another appearance at the NHL level this season.
