While there has been no official announcement from the Red Wings regarding an injury, there was a moment during Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Ottawa Senators that could be the reason why.
Forward James van Riemsdyk was shaken up when a puck deflected and struck him in the face, causing him to go down the tunnel toward the dressing room; he only played 7:43 during the game.
Shine, who was named the 19th captain in Griffins history prior to the start of this season, has scored 21 goals while adding 16 assists in 38 games played in 2025-26.
He earned his first NHL experience with the Red Wings last season, registering an assist in nine games.
He was also recently re-signed by the organization in January to a two-year, two-way extension.
The Grand Rapids Griffins have put together an extraordinary campaign, becoming the earliest American Hockey League team since 1993 to clinch a playoff berth at this point in the season.
