Daniel Sprong credits part of his breakout success last season to his team being able to roll four lines strong. Good thing his new team, the Detroit Red Wings, may be able to do the same.
Sprong was part of general manager Steve Yzerman's free agent haul, which also included forwards J.T. Compher and Christian Fischer — signings that came a week before Yzerman swung a deal for Alex DeBrincat and a week after Klim Kostin was added in a trade during the draft. That projects to give the Wings the depth to form four solid lines, which is what helped Sprong record a career-high 21 goals last season with the Seattle Kraken.
