Holmstrom update
Update on Holmstrom:
He's flown back to Detroit to get an MRI on his injured right knee and will not play Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.
Holmstrom was hurt in the first period of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Holmstrom seemed to step on the stick of Blues defenseman Eric Brewer and turned his right knee.
Babcock said after the game he was optimistic Holmstrom's injury wasn't serious, but the Wings wanted to have their own doctors check the knee. John Hahn, the Wings' senior director of communications, said Holmstrom will have the MRI today but the team may not know results until Saturday.
The Wings aren't practicing Friday after back-to-back games the last two days.
