Of very brief Red Wings-related note this morning:
1. USA Hockey Arena is hosting the Warren Strelow National Team Goaltending Camp from Tuesday to Friday of this week, and both Jimmy Howard and prospect Keith Petruzzelli have been invited to participate in the camp. The camp will mainly aid potential National Team goaltenders, but Howard is one of seven pro goalies to take part in the event.
I don’t believe that the event is open to the public, but if it is, I’ll try to get that information out to you.
2. According to Hockeysverige.se’s Mans Karlsson, Wings prospect Alfons Malmstrom is taking a step back to take a step forward. Malmstrom has signed a deal with Boden HF of the Swedish Hockeyettan.
Malmstrom, a 20-year-old defenseman, has struggled to earn playing time in the Swedish J20 league, so he’s going to drop down to the Swedish equivalent of the ECHL to find some playing time as he graduates from under-20 hockey to men’s league play.
