Both goalies practiced and looked fine this week for Detroit. So not exactly sure of plan on this. https://t.co/95EjEVTXN5

For the boring particulars, Magnus Hellberg is a 31-year old Swedish goaltender who was drafted by Nashville in 2011. Breaking into the NHL as a goaltender is harder than any other position to start with and he had the unfortunate luck of being behind the Predator’s tandems.
The Red Wings brought Hellberg back to North America late last season where he surprisingly played just one game for us despite that we were obviously tanking and there wasn’t really a reason to not play him (let’s just blame Blashill).
