–Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom sat out Tuesday’s game after experiencing a bad reaction following injections in his knees last Thursday. Holmstrom said he hopes to play Thursday in Vancouver. He wasn’t able to skate Monday evening with the team in Calgary, in its first practice following the All-Star break, but he skated hard Tuesday.

Holmstrom had the Synvisc injections before training camp, too. He said they’re good for 5-6 months. The All-Star break was a good time to get the next injections, he said, because it takes 5-6 days to recover.
