Playing shorthanded and with a short memory has helped Detroit Red Wings rookie Filip Hronek regain his confidence.
Hronek is in his second stint with the Wings, recalled in mid-December to offset injuries. A dozen games in, he has had more good stretches than poor ones, showing off his offensive skills and earning trust in his own zone. That’s in contrast to when he was sent down six games into the season after making the team opening night because four of the Wings’ veteran defensemen were injured.
