Michael Brandsegg-Nygård has been moved down from the Detroit Red Wings to the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL. The Red Wings confirmed the move on X on Tuesday. Brandsegg-Nygård was called up by Detroit on March 7, but his NHL stint was brief, with only three games after the recall. He suffered an ankle injury after getting a cut against the Florida Panthers on March 10, though he still played the following game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, which marked his last NHL appearance so far. The specific reason for his demotion beyond injury issues has not been disclosed, and the severity and expected recovery time for his ankle injury remain unclear.
Earlier this season, Brandsegg-Nygård played nine games for Detroit before being sent to Grand Rapids, where he was among the top point scorers in the AHL before his call-up. His limited playing time in the NHL this season has been impacted by injuries, including the recent ankle issue.
