Simon Edvinsson could be the reason Red Wings finally take the next step

Simon Edvinsson's first full season with the Detroit Red Wings was successful in my eyes. 31 points and seven goals in 78 games, an 8.1 shooting percentage, 21:07 of average total ice time, 144 blocks, and 86 hits sums up a rookie season for a player poised to take the next level.

Want more? Edvinsson's plus-12 rating was encouraging, regardless of what you think of plus/minus. And there are reasons why it holds: The Red Wings allowed more goals than they scored in 2024-25, Edvinsson's on-ice shooting percentage was a healthy 11.0 at even strength, and his on-ice save percentage landed at 91.
