Detroit Red Wings top prospect Simon Edvinsson playing tonight, with parents in stands

At least for his second game, Simon Edvinsson will have his parents and brother in the stands.

Edvinsson, the No. 6 pick in 2021, made the cut for a second Detroit Red Wings game, coach Derek Lalonde said Monday. The Wings still have him as an "emergency call-up," so as soon as Gustav Lindstrom is available, Edvinsson is earmarked to go back to the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Edvinsson's family missed his debut, because they couldn't get from their native Sweden to Detroit in time. He picked them up Sunday from the airport, and has convinced them it's better to see his second game live, anyway.
