DHN+: Can Johnny Burgers give the Wings steady offense?

Detroit Hockey Now’s Tim Robinson posted a behind-the-paywall article which discusses whether the Red Wings might be able to get more point production out of “Johnny Burgers,” a.k.a. one Jonatan Berggren:

Jonatan Berggren had a respectable debut with the Detroit Red Wings last season.

He had 15 goals in  67 games last year, but for the 23-year-old native of Sweden, the expectations go beyond that.

“He was a great addition for us at times last year,” Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said last week at the start of training camp in Traverse City. “He was making plays. We went through some of those games where we were looking for some offense. He was one of the guys that could create some offense.’

A good start, to be sure. This season, the Red Wings are looking for more from their first of two second-round picks in the 2018 draft.
