How can Danny DeKeyser help the Red Wings? Filmed Feb. 5 2019 in Detroit. Helene St. James, Detroit Free Press
Danny DeKeyser would like to produce like he did early in his NHL career.
He has contributed two goals to the three-game winning streak the Detroit Red Wings take into Thursday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, though the bigger key for the Wings is DeKeyser’s defensive game.
DeKeyser is 28, in the prime of his career. He’s a workhorse, averaging 21:17 of ice time per game, third on the team. Two different hand injuries have sidelined him 27 games, and Wings coach Jeff Blashill is emphatic about how big of a loss that’s been.
