By @MichaelCaples –

The Detroit Red Wings announced some roster moves this morning, and it may be bad news for Andreas Athanasiou.

The speedy forward was moved to long-term injured reserve, while Justin Abdelkader was placed on seven-day injured reserve.

Detroit recalled forward Tomas Nosek and defenseman Brian Lashoff, as well.

Athanasiou sprained his knee on Nov. 10; Abdelkader suffered a MCL sprain on Dec. 1.
