The Detroit Red Wings claimed their first victory of the season on Saturday—albeit the rookie squad.
In the rookie showcase, Detroit decisively defeated the Dallas Stars’ top prospects, 6–2, in Frisco, Texas.
Goals were registered by Emmitt Finnie, Amadeus Lombardi, Alex Doucet, Shai Buium, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka, each making a clear statement for the organization’s next generation.
Particularly noteworthy were Brandsegg-Nygard and Sandin-Pellikka, both recent first-round selections, who scored in the final period to help the Wings pull away and secure the win.
