Detroit – Some of the Red Wings’ young players will continue to play hockey this autumn, even if the team is not on the ice.
The Red Wings announced Monday they have loaned defenseman Gustav Lindstrom to the Swedish team Almtuna.
Lindstrom, 21, played in 16 games last season with the Wings, with one assist and a minus-6 rating.
Lindstrom is expected to compete for a roster spot in the next Detroit training camp.
Lindstrom is the latest young player the Wings have loaned to European teams in an effort to continue playing and earning valuable experience.
