This opens up a spot for Alexey Marchenko to play, and as of right now, there has not been any news on if they will call up another player or not. Important to note that Marchenko’s waiver status will be changed here in the next month if he is to be playing more. The Wings might play the waiver game and send him back to Grand Rapids to preserve his ability to be eligible for the playoffs with the Griffins. In turn, they could call up a player like Nick Jensen or Xavier Ouellet.
