Wings Recall Brendan Smith, Place Bertuzzi On Injured Reserve

Detroit -The Detroit Red Wings announced Monday that defenseman Brendan Smith has been recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) and forward Todd Bertuzzi has been placed on seven-day injured reserve.

Smith is required to sit out one more NHL game as part of his five-game suspension handed down during the preseason.  Bertuzzi has missed the last four Red Wings contests due to a sinus infection and swelling in his ear.

Currently 9-5-1 on the season, Detroit begins a four-game road trip this week at St. Louis.  Tickets to all Red Wings home games are available at the JLA Box Office (313-396-7575), all Ticketmaster (800-745-3000) outlets, and online at DetroitRedWings.com.
