Detroit Red Wings activate defenseman and former Spartan Jeff Petry off of IR
The National Hockey League is in the heat of a playoff push, with the regular season hitting the final 12ish games of the season. For the local team in the state of Michigan, the Detroit Red Wings, are five points out of the playoffs with 13 games to go.
Jeff Petry, a former Spartan and longtime NHL defenseman, is a member of the Red Wings and has been out almost three months. After playing his last game on Jan. 2, it looks like Petry will be returning to the lineup for the last push the Red Wings will have.
After playing in just 34 games early this season, the veteran defenseman has been cleared and activated off of injured reserve by the Red Wings. It is unclear if he will be making his return in tonight's game against the Utah Hockey Club.
Petry is just 29 games away from playing 1,000 career NHL games and will start making progress towards that career milestone.
