Quick Hits: The Everyday Player Edition
In Red Wings Land Andreas Athanasiou proves to be prolific X-factor in Red Wings’ offense | The Detroit News Detroit — Admit it, you’ve been waiting for Andreas Athanasiou to go into a lengthy slump. As Athanasiou was apt to do the previous two seasons, going through stretches where he’d be red-hot, then out of sight in terms of the scoresheet. That was one of the larger knocks against Athanasiou, his lack of consistency. But if you’ve been waiting, well, you may keep on waiting. Andreas Athanasiou has finally become an everyday player and it’s fun as hell to watch. The Red...

Andreas Athanasiou breakaway speed An opposing goalie getting his...

The Wings found out before the game Saturday — which turned into a 2-1 loss against Florida — they’d be without forward Andreas Athanasiou, which was termed an upper body injury. Athanasiou took warm-ups but didn’t feel capable of playing. This is not an ideal situation. Anthony Mantha and Mike Green are already injured and when you add AA to the mix...
