DETROIT, MICH — It was announced yesterday that Red Wings forward Teemu Pulkkinen had been placed on waivers. Guess what? He’s gone now. The __ have made the claim on the former AHL goal-scoring champion:
Fun fact: Minnesota was the team Pulkkinen scored his first-ever NHL goal on.
Pulkkinen is a former AHL goal-scoring champion who has proven that he can pound the puck into the net with his thunderous shot if given the space. The problem is that the Red Wings never gave him that chance. He was misused given the skill-set he has, and now he will get his shot with a team that wants him.
