Of Red Wings prospect-related note:
In the KHL, this morning “our time,” Dmitri Buchelnikov made his Admiral Vladivostok debut, but if you were hoping that he would earn a fair shake, you’re bound to be disappointed with this stat line: Buchelnikov played all of 4:07, finishing even, in Admiral Vladivostok’s 2-1 loss to the Ak Bars Kazan;
And in the DEL, Kevin Bicker finished even in a healthy 11:42 as the Frankfurt Lowen won 6-2 over the Nurnberg Tigers. Bicker’s ice time is growing by a minute or two every game, which is encouraging.
