Like our first graded Red Wing of 2016-17, Tomas Nosek, Robbie Russo was a late-season addition to Detroit’s lineup. Also like Nosek, Russo appeared in less than 20 regular-season games for the Wings.
The season-ending injury to Ryan Sproul allowed Russo to make his NHL debut against the Maple Leafs in early March.
