WJC Talk Surrounding The Wings
from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,
The World Junior Championships will play out like a preview of coming attractions for Detroit Red Wings fans over the next couple of weeks.
Nine different Red Wings prospects will play in the make-up tournament in Alberta. This replaces the tournament that started last December and then was shut down because of COVID-19. This is a complete do-over. None of last winter’s completed games will be counted.
The Red Wings will have four prospects play on the opening day of the tournament Tuesday. Goalie Jan Bednar will play for Czechia against Slovakia (2 p.m., NHL Network).
