It’s always nice when someone “talks up” a Wings prospect, so here’s Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis discussing Team USA goaltender Trey Augustine as part of his Team USA World Junior Championship team preview:
After being the United States’ starter the past two years – and his continued play as one of the top goalies in the NCAA this year – Trey Augustine (Detroit Red Wings) has the crease on lockdown this year. He’s the top goaltender in the tournament, and is one of the best goalie prospects across the NHL, period. Augustine is putting up some outstanding numbers as a college sophomore, registering an 11-2-1 record with two shutouts and a .930 save percentage. He has a great team in front of him, sure, but Augustine has managed to be an absolute star at every level he has ever played in and has a near perfect record at the World Juniors, too.
