Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen profiles Red Wings prospect goaltender Carter Gylander this morning:
Carter Gylander (pronounced GUY-Lander) stopped 29 of 30 shots (.967 save percentage) to help the Red Wings down the Dallas Stars twice in their NHL Prospect Series. The Alberta native owned a 0.67 goals-against average for 90-plus minutes of work in the series.
Here is the scoring summary for the two games of the series.
The Red Wings signed Gylander, 23, after he played four seasons at Colgate. At 6-foot-5, 195 pounds, Gylander has a similar body type to Cossa. Both are tall and thin.
“I thought he had a great game and a half, to be honest with you,” the prospect team coach Dan Watson said. “He played aggressive (Sunday). He saw a lot more action to what he did last night. So for him to be able to put together four and a half really, really solid periods is good for him. You know, he got a little bit of a taste last year in the Grand Rapids, some practice time. So I think he was maybe a little bit ahead of the curve there. But I think overall very pleased with his outings. ”
Continued; Gylander has a ways to go, but his steady style and massive size are encouraging.
