Last season with Rogle BK, Wallinder compiled 26 points (7-19—26) in 50 regular-season games to go along with three points in nine postseason contests. (DetroitRedWings.com)
It was only one game, and what happens this season in Grand Rapids will say more about their long-potential, but the Wallinder and Tuomisto pairing played like a tandem that boasts long-term potential. (Detroit Hockey Now)
Kasper has a bit more to play for at this tournament, as a spot on the NHL roster — though still unlikely — is more plausible for him than for the 18-year-old Danielson. (The Athletic)
Elmer Soderblom and Antti Tuomisto scored Detroit's goals, Nate Danielson had two assists and Cross Hanas and Riley Sawchuk had an assist each. (The Detroit News)
The 6-8 forward Soderblom needs a strong training camp and preseason, coupled with an injury or two to a regular, to have an opportunity to crack the season-opening roster. (MLive)
Carter Mazur, the former Denver standout who is a candidate to make the Red Wings roster in next week’s training camp, left Thursday’s 4-2 loss to Dallas in the first period and did not return. (Detroit Hockey Now)
Kasper has shouldered high expectations since being selected eighth overall by the Red Wings in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Fortunately, the external pressure does not bother the young forward prospect. (DetroitRedWings.com)
That's an opportunity the likes of Marco Kasper and Elmer Söderblom will have over the coming days as they partake in the prospects tournament that precedes main training camp for Detroit. (Detroit Free Press)
Thirteen of the 24 players on the roster are former Wings draft picks, with three first-round picks, in addition to four second-round picks and one third-round selection. (The Detroit News)
The fact he got a game in the spring is a point in his favor. My feeling is Kasper will play NHL games this season. Is that number nine? Is it 20? Is it 40? All of that remains to be seen. (The Athletic)
The Detroit Red Wings will be back on the ice Thursday. Well, at least several future Red Wings will be suiting up during the NHL Prospects Tournament at Centre I.C.E. Arena in Traverse City. (MLive)
