2. The Wings also posted a video highlighting morning skate remarks from the prospect camp up here in Traverse City…
A year ago, Red Wings goaltending prospect Kaden Fulcher was looking for a contract.
Saturday night he’ll be starting in net as the Wings seek their first victory of the 2018 prospect tournament at Centre Ice Arena in Traverse City.
Invited by the Wings to their 2017 development camp in Traverse City as a free agent, the 6-foot-3, 182-pound Fulcher impressed the Red Wings enough to be invited back to last year’s prospect tournament and Detroit’s training camp.
“We had a window to sign him when he went back to junior (last season) and we signed him that week we sent him back to junior,” Red Wings goaltending coach Jeff Salajko said. “He’s a kid that just continued to get better as his season went on. I’ve watched him the last two days in practice here and the pregame skate yesterday (Friday) and he has a level of patience now that he didn’t have.
“He’s just added a little more structure to his game, he looks clean and he’s grown again. He’s grown another inch, they say he’s pushing 6-5 and he uses that size effectively. So I’m really excited that we have him in the stable here and I think he’s going to be really good for us.”
