The Positives From Sundqvist And Walman

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

In just a few weeks, Oskar Sundqvist has shown how he can help the Detroit Red Wings be more competitive.

His full impact will be on better display next season, when he's gone through training camp with the Wings, but since arriving March 21, Sundqvist has added energy and a net-front presence. He is adept at using his 6-foot-3, 208-pound frame to screen opposing goalies and doesn't shy away from getting hit.

"He’s a guy who brings two things to a power play — one, a big body, who can both screen the goalie and win loose pucks, and those are important aspects of a power play," coach Jeff Blashill said.
