David Pope loves to shoot the puck, which bodes well as he tries to push for a job with the Detroit Red Wings.
Pope, who turns 24 in September, was among the older prospects at development camp, having spent the last four years playing wing at Nebraska-Omaha. Originally drafted 109th overall in 2013, Pope signed with the Wings in May with the understanding he’ll get some opportunities in the exhibition season as he vies for a role in Detroit.
