Jeff speaking to wearing his Dad’s number 46 for the Red Wings, says it wasn’t something he discussed with his Dad— wanted to surprise him 🥹🥲 #LGRW

When asked if there was a conversation about where he’d want to end up, Petry said there was and that “Detroit was the number one spot on my list.” #LGRW
