Detroit Red Wings depth chart updated following Jonatan Berggren recall

The Detroit Red Wings have made a significant roster move, recalling right-wing Jonatan Berggren from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL). Berggren's return to the Red Wings' lineup adds depth and skill to their forward group as they continue their push for a playoff spot.

At just 23 years old, Berggren has already shown promise in his brief NHL appearances this season, tallying five points (2 goals, 3 assists) in nine games. Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 194 pounds, Berggren brings speed, playmaking ability and a scoring touch to the Red Wings' lineup.

The Detroit Red Wings lineup will now look something like this:

Forwards

• Alex DeBrincat - Joe Veleno - Patrick Kane
• Michael Rasmussen - J.T. Compher - Lucas Raymond
• Robby Fabbri - Christian Fischer - David Perron
• Justin Holl - Andrew Copp - Daniel Sprong
• (Jonatan Berggren will most likely play on the second or third line.)

Defensemen

• Jake Walman - Moritz Seider
• Ben Chiarot - Jeff Petry
• Olli Maatta - Shayne Gostisbehere

Goalies

• Alex Lyon
• James Reimer

However, it will be tough for the Red Wings to make it to the playoffs. They hold a record of 33-24-6 and are fourth in the Atlantic Division with 72 points. They will need to win at least 12 or more games from this point onwards.
