Red Wings' Dan Renouf: Assigned to minors Friday

Renouf (knee) was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday, TSN reports.

Analysis:

Renouf started the season on injured reserve, and it's not clear when he'll be ready for game action in the minors. Last year, the depth defender made the leap from the University of Maine to AHL Grand Rapids, where he recorded one point in six games.
