Of prospect-related note today, in the Swedish Allsvenskan:
Both Gustav Lindstrom and Filip Larsson missed Almtuna IS’s 6-3 win over BIK Karlskoga;
And Gustav Berglund is playing with the Swedish World Junior team right now, so he missed Vasteras IK’s 3-0 win over Tingsryds IF.
Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman engaged in a press conference with the media earlier today…
And this evening, the Wings’ beat writers have weighed in on Yzerman’s remarks regarding re-signing Anthony Mantha and Tyler Bertuzzi, as well as the state of his team as a whole.
Regarding Mantha, the Free Press’s Helene St. James noted that Yzerman would prefer that the big power forward keep his gloves on if at all possible…

Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser appeared on “The Word on Woodward” yesterday to surprise a young fan named Lucy:
The Red Wings are going to be streaming a Zoom call in which Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman will speak with the media at 12 PM EST:
Update: Of Twitter-related note:

And he engaged in a sit-down conversation with Ken Kal, Carley Johnston and Kirk Maltby:
Red Wings prospect Jonatan Berggren spoke with SHL.se’s Johannes Hagglund yesterday, and here’s a rough translation of their conversation:
Continue reading Roughly translated: Jonatan Berggren speaks with SHL.se about making the Swedish national teamJonatan Berggren: “Proud and ruggedly happy”
Finally injury free, now Jonatan Berggren has exploded. The 20-year-old is third in SHL in points and he received a reward from the national team management in the form of a spot on Tre Kronor’s Karjala squad—even though it took time before Berggren answered when Markus Akerblom, assistant national team manager, heard from him. “He disturbed me when I played Fortnite, so he had to call three, or four times,” says the Skelleftea forward, who laughs.
Red Wings prospect Moritz Seider spoke with Rogle BK’s website for just under 3 minutes today, discussing his experiences during the SHL’s Euro Hockey Tour pause as he acclimates to his surroundings, his acclimation to Swedish ice hockey, and he explains the reasons why he’s not playing for Germany’s World Championship evaluation team due to coronavirus restrictions.
Seider feels that he needs to be “tighter” and “have a better gap” against his opponents, defensively speaking, but he speaks glowingly of the SHL’s talent level, and he discusses the SHL’s condensed schedule (every other day) post-Euro Hockey Tour pause as well.
Per HockeyNews.se’s Mattias Ek, it looks like Jonatan Berggren is playing on Sweden’s 3rd line ahead of tomorrow’s Karjala Cup game vs. the Czechs:

And, as Filip Zadina noted on Twitter, the Czech Extraliga is going to be coming back within the next week to ten days, so…
Hockey is back in Czech Republic! Practice, practice & practice!
