The Detroit Red Wings got a look at several recent first-round picks as they started exhibition season.
Neither the Wings nor the Pittsburgh Penguins fielded teams heavy on NHL talent Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena. Instead it was an opportunity to let prospects acclimate to a higher pace of hockey.
Dennis Cholowski set up Trevor Hamilton for a tying goal at 16:18 of the second period. Jussi Jokinen, at camp on a tryout, tied it up halfway through the third period when he found an open net.
Michael Rasmussen scored the winning goal in the 3-2 final.
