A little belatedly, from the Red Wings:
RED WINGS REDUCE ROSTER TO 41
… Twelve Players Assigned or Released with Two Preseason Games Remaining …
DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today assigned center Axel Holmstrom and left wing Chris Terry to the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins and assigned goaltender Kaden Fulcher to the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye. Additionally, Detroit released forwards Colin Campbell, Carter Camper, Turner Elson, Matthew Ford, Dominik Shine and Trevor Yates and defensemen Marcus Crawford, Trevor Hamilton and Mackenze Stewart from their tryout contracts. All nine tryout players released will report to the Griffins.
Currently undefeated in preseason play (6-0-0), the Red Wings will battle the Toronto Maple Leafs in back-to-back games to wrap up their eight-game exhibition slate. Detroit will visit Toronto on Friday at 7:30 p.m. before hosting the Maple Leafs at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. (FOX Sports Detroit).
