Ernie will miss his third straight game with an undisclosed injury but head coach Jeff Blashill believes he could be back in on Sunday. Evgeny Svechnikov will continue to skate in Erne’s spot on Friday.
Erne was set to miss Tuesday's game vs. the Canucks and was moved to IR so the Red Wings could recall Evgeny Svechnikov from the Griffins.
Erne suffered an upper-body injury in the Red Wings loss in Vancouver on Tuesday but could play Thursday in Calgary. Erne has no points and 11 shots in six games this season, so even if he does end up playing he carries very little to no fantasy value.
Erne was a second-round pick of the Lightning in 2013 and finished his first full NHL season with 20 points (7G / 13A) in 65 games. Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman is familiar with Erne from his time with Tampa Bay and added the 24-year-old to a team that has a ton of bottom-6 players. Erne will likely open 2020 on their third line.
Erne missed Saturday’s game vs. the Red Wings but will play tonight in Toronto. Erne has one goal and two assists in his last three games, giving him 18 points (7G / 11A) in 53 games this season.
Erne is banged up with an upper-body injury and will be replaced by Ryan Callahan on Saturday.
Erne has just one assist and four shots on goal in four games this season. The left-winger will be replaced by Ryan Callahan (shoulder) who will be making his season debut.
Erne played with both Tampa Bay (NHL) and Syracuse (AHL) for the second straight season. The 23-year-old had three goals and one assist in 23 games with the Lightning and 26 points (12G / 14A) in 41 games with the Crunch. Erne heads into the 2019 season as the 12th or 13th forward in Tampa Bay, unless there is an Erik Karlsson trade that frees up some room on the depth chart.
Erne, who appeared in 26 games with the Lightning last year, has collected 12 goals and 14 assists (26 points) in 41 games with the Crunch this season. Erne will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Crunch alumni Yanni Gourde and Matthew Peca, who have played well this year. He’ll debut on a line with Vladislav Namestnikov and Cory Conacher.
Erne, 21, has collected 14 goals and 13 assists (27 points) in 39 games with Syracuse this season. He has no points in four NHL games this season and there’s no word whether he will be in the lineup on Monday.
Erne, 21, was a second round pick in 2013 (33rd overall) and it looks like he could make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Erne has been recalled because Brian Boyle is day-to-day. He comes to the Lightning have scored eight goals with 10 assists (18 points) in 31 games with Syracuse.
