Several forwards on the Detroit team have been injured, prompting the call-up from the AHL.
In the "Red Wings," captain Dylan Larkin, Andrew Copp, and Nate Danielson are injured.
This season, Tralmaks has scored 28 points (18+10) in 49 games with the Griffins, who are the leaders in the AHL, making him the sixth highest scorer on the team and the fourth top scorer.
The Latvian forward has a two-way contract with the "Red Wings" for this season.
The "Red Wings" are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 79 points in 65 games, sitting three points above the playoff zone. The next game for the Detroit team will be on Friday night Latvian time — away against the Tampa Bay Lightning, for which Zemgus Girgensons plays.
