The Hockey News’s Nicholas Emmanuelli accentuates the positive for the worst 10 teams of the 2021, and the Red Wings earn a mention in his article:
Detroit Red Wings (.500 points percentage)
After four straight bottom-five finishes in the overall standings, the Red Wings have begun to slowly make headway on their rebuild this year, amassing a .500 points percentage through 33 games.
In Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider, the Wings have two Calder frontrunners. Blueline prospect Simon Edvinsson – who comes from the same Frolunda program as Raymond – has 12 points in 24 games while playing over 20 minutes a night in the SHL. He’ll help too.
