DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings have placed forward Jan Mursak on waivers today.

If he clears by noon Saturday, the club will have the option of assigning him to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Mursak returned to the lineup Thursday after suffering a collar bone injury in the season opener Jan. 19 at St. Louis.

He could not have cracked the lineup when everyone is healthy.

Mursak, 25, has two goals and two assists in 46 career games with the Red Wings.

Detroit selected the native Slovenian in the sixth round (182nd overall) in the 2006 entry draft.

Mursak is practicing with the Red Wings today.
