DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings are riding a dubious four-game streak – they’ve had one player get injured in each of their past four games.

The latest is forward Todd Bertuzzi, who suffered a lower-body injury in Friday's 2-1 shootout victory over the Edmonton Oilers at Joe Louis Arena.

The Red Wings recalled forward Jordin Tootoo from the Grand Rapids Griffins. He will be in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center (7:30 p.m., NBC Sports Network exclusive.

General manager Ken Holland said Bertuzzi is day-to-day.

Tootoo has appeared in 10 games this season for Detroit (no goals, one assist, minus-3, five penalty minutes). In 38 games for the Griffins he has four goals, 10 assists, a minus-2 rating and 74 penalty minutes.

In each of the three games before Friday, the Red Wings lost Tomas Jurco (broken rib, two-to-four weeks), Joakim Andersson (broken foot, two-to-three weeks) and Jonas Gustavsson (day-to-day, groin).

They’re part of an injured list that includes Henrik Zetterberg (back surgery), Pavel Datsyuk (knee), Darren Helm (concussion), Stephen Weiss (hernia surgery), Daniel Cleary (knee) and Mikael Samuelsson (shoulder).

Helm might have suffered a setback after appearing to be close to returning. He was on the ice briefly Saturday before leaving at the start of practice.

“I was told he’d be ready to go (for practice); I don’t know what’s going on with him,” coach Mike Babcock said.

Babcock said Helm can’t be told to play through it.

“If they’re hurt, they’re hurt. That’s why I don’t make those decisions,” Babcock said. “Helmer would have been back in a week ago if it was up to me. That’s why I’m not allowed to be involved in that.

“Getting ready for the summer isn’t a priority. We need guys back. The (concussion issue) you never know. We thought Mule was coming back a bunch of times and he didn’t. I don’t know the answer to that, all I can say is we can use anyone available.”
