Elmer Soderblom, Joe Veleno make Red Wings opening-night roster
Detroit - The Red Wings have decided to keep forwards Elmer Soderblom and Joe Veleno.
The two young players appeared to be facing somewhat long odds at the start of training camp, but both had impressive performances during the exhibition season which forced management's and the coaching staff's thinking.
The Red Wings today assigned forwards Givani Smith (who cleared waivers) Kyle Criscuolo, Taro Hirose and goaltender Jussi Olkinuora to the American Hockey League's Grand Rapids Griffins.
The Wings also placed forward Robby Fabbri (knee) on injured reserve and designated defensemen Seth Barton, Mark Pysyk and Jake Walman as injured non-roster.
