DETROIT - Several prospects are battling for jobs with the Detroit Red Wings, and nearly each one is making a good case for himself in the preseason.
Young players made an impact in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena.
Evgeny Svechnikov scored at 1:42 of overtime, his second game-winning goal in as many games. Filip Zadina, Dennis Cholowski and Vili Saarijarvi scored their first preseason goals. Joe Veleno and Michael Rasmussen contributed assists. Libor Sulak didn't get on the scoresheet but logged 21 minutes and continued to impress with his skating ability.
