Red Wings' Niklas Kronwall: Return timeline unclear

Kronwall's latest injury concerns his groin, and GM Ken Holland isn't sure whether the defenseman will be ready this weekend, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

The hope is that Kronwall can give it a go in Friday's road match with the Sabres. He was able to practice Sunday, which is a sure sign of progress, but the shutdown blueliner remains day-to-day.
