The Detroit Red Wings on Sunday waived veteran defensemen Erik Gustafsson and Justin Holl, possibly clearing the way for rookie Axel Sandin-Pellikka to make the season-opening roster.
If Gustafsson and/or Holl clears Monday at 2 p.m., one or both could be assigned to the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins. It’s also worth noting that they could clear and remain on the Red Wings roster.
