The Detroit Red Wings have locked up Matt Puempel who has struggled to find his way to the NHL so far in his young career. The 25-year-old Essex, Ontario native will look to build on the tremendous season he produced for the Grand Rapids Griffins last season.
Puempel who grew up just a 25-minute drive from downtown Detroit will look to have another kick at the can this fall trying to make the Detroit Red Wings.
Per Peter J Wallner of Mlive.com, It’s indeed a two-year-deal for Puempel. The details of the two-year-deal have yet to be released.
