Of Red Wings prospect-related note today:
In the Swedish Allsvenskan, Liam Dower Nilsson had an assist, finishing even with 2 shots in 14:13 of ice time as IF Bjorkoven won 4-1 over AIK;
In the DEL, Kevin Bicker blocked 2 shots in 7:16 played during the Frankfurt Lowen’s 2-0 loss to the Straubing Tigers. I’m starting to wonder whether they’re going to place Bicker in a lower league (the Germans have an under-20 league for youngsters) to give him more playing time;
In the VHL, Dmitri Buchelnikov had an assist, finishing at +1 with 4 shots in 19:04 played as SKA Neva St. Petersburg won 5-4 in a shootout over Ryazan;
And in the WHL, Nate Danielson’s Brandon Wheat Kings will battle the Prince Albert Raiders later tonight.
Update: Brandon won 4-3 over Prince Albert.
