Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff spotlights several Red Wings prospects this morning, leading off with one Dmitri Buchelnikov’s stand-out performances for a middling Vityaz team:
Dmitri Buchelnikov’s team may be sinking, but the Detroit Red Wings prospect just keeps on trucking. Riding a four-game point streak, Buchelnikov was dishing out an assist Monday as Vityaz fell 4-2 to Dinamo Minsk in KHL action.
On this day, the future Red Wings player – Buchelnikov was Detroit’s 52nd overall selection in the 2022 NHL entry draft – was being outshone by a former Wings defenseman. Xavier Ouellet collected a goal and two assists in leading Dinamo Minsk to victory.
Vityaz is 1-6-2 over the past nine games. The club has fallen 15 points out of a KHL playoff spot. Buchelnikov, though, is leading the team in scoring with 13-31-44 totals through 54 games.
