After a delayed homecoming, Detroit Red Wings' Jordan Oesterle is finding his place

Special to the Detroit Free Press

After Jordan Oesterle’s homecoming game got delayed for over a month. He's now getting some steady opportunities on the Detroit Red Wings’ back line.

Oesterle, a Dearborn Heights native and Western Michigan alum, signed a two-year contract with the Red Wings in July. He often found himself the odd man out, appearing in just three of the team’s first 18 games.

With Troy Stecher out with a wrist injury and Danny DeKeyser on the COVID-19 protocol list, Oesterle has played the last four games.
