Just back in the Detroit<\/a> Red Wings lineup, center Michael Rasmussen<\/a> is heading back up on the shelf. And this time, it looks like it will be permanent.<\/p>\n

Rasmussen left Tuesday\u2019s 4-3 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets after blocking a shot by Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski<\/a> in the leg during a Blue Jackets power play late in the second period.<\/p>\n

He did not return for the third period.<\/p>\n

It was only the third game back for Rasmussen. He\u2019d missed nine games with a lower-body injury after also taking a shot to the leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I think he\u2019s probably going to miss a few more games,\u201d Red Wings coach Todd McLellan<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, he blocked the shot basically in the exact same spot, so I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s starting over or not,\u201d McLellan said, \u201cBut he couldn\u2019t return, and I doubt he\u2019ll practice tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rough Season For Red Wings Rasmussen<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an all-around rough campaign for Rasmussen. This will be his third stint on the injury list. He also missed three games in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always want to be out there supporting and helping how you can,\u201d Rasmussen said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s been healthy and on the ice, the results produced by Rasmussen have been, to put it mildly, sub-par.<\/p>\n

Rasmussen has gone pointless through his past 25 games. He\u2019s scored one goal over his past 30 games.<\/p>\n

For the season, Rasmussen shows 6-8-14 totals and a minus-10 rating over 64 games. That\u2019s far and away his lowest productivity since Rasmussen became a full-time NHLer in 2021-22.<\/p>\n

Rasmussen is seventh on the team with 64 hits. He leads Detroit forwards with 63 blocked shots. In just 7:57 of ice time on Thursday, Rasmussen was first among the Red Wings forwards with four blocked shots.<\/p>\n
