Overview
- Head coach Todd McLellan said Edvinsson will sit through the Feb. 6–24 Olympic pause, with the earliest return set for Feb. 26 at Ottawa.
- The 22-year-old has a lower-body injury and has missed the past two games.
- The schedule pause limits his absence to seven games in total, with five more before the break.
- Detroit will juggle pairings, including using Jacob Bernard-Docker or Ben Chiarot with Moritz Seider, with assistant Trent Yawney managing matchups.
- McLellan said the injury will not speed up trade-deadline plans, and it also removes Edvinsson from Sweden’s potential Olympic replacement pool.
