And this time, it looks like it will be permanent.
Rasmussen left Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets after blocking a shot by Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski in the leg during a Blue Jackets power play late in the second period. He did not return for the third period. UPDATE: Michael Rasmussen (lower body injury) will not return.

With only four games remaining in the NHL regular-season schedule for the Red Wings, the likelihood of seeing Rasmussen in game action again would be remote at best. “Again, he blocked the shot basically in the exact same spot, so I don’t know if he’s starting over or not,” McLellan said, “But he couldn’t return, and I doubt he’ll practice tomorrow. ” Rough Season For Red Wings Rasmussen It’s been an all-around rough campaign for Rasmussen.
