Detroit — Jacob de la Rose has been around the Red Wings for only a few days, but he’s noticed something about rookie Michael Rasmussen.
It doesn’t take a lot of time to realize, or notice, Rasmussen is likely to have a good NHL career.
“He’s a big guy,” de la Rose said of Rasmussen, a 6-foot-6 winger. “He’s very good at using his body at protecting the puck. He’s good down low.
“He’s going to have a lot of success in this league.”
After a difficult start this season, Rasmussen, 19, is beginning to show glimpses of the vast potential the Red Wings have believed he has since drafting him in the first round in 2017.
