Ansar Khan of Mlive.com has written that Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom
According to Khan, Holmstrom hasn’t ruled out returning February 2nd against Ottawa, which is the teams first game back after the All Star Break, but said it will probably be a few days after that.
“Who knows, maybe I can (play Feb. 2). It’s just how I can handle the pain,” Holmstrom said. “Hoping a week can make it good. Hold onto the stick and manage the pain. It takes three weeks to heal the bone. So hopefully around that time.”
“Maybe I can just cut the stick up and hold it with two fingers because I got such good hands, it’s not going to bother me,” he said.
