Athanasiou on fast track

DETROIT -- Nothing is going to slow Andreas Athanasiou down.

Athanasiou's blend of speed and skill turns heads when he's on the ice, making him one of the more exciting players the Red Wings have had in recent years.

Athanasiou was not really showing off those abilities during the Wings' youth camp at Joe Louis Arena Monday, where he served as a guest instructor along with former Wing and current pro scout Kirk Maltby.

Kids ages 6-14 are taking part in three days of camp.
