Tom McCollum's return to the Detroit Red Wings organization after a one-year absence adds insurance and some intrigue to what the goalie situation will be next season.
McCollum, traded Saturday from Calgary for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2018, is expected back in Grand Rapids where he played seven seasons and became the Griffins' all-time goalie leader in games played (226), saves (5,653) minutes (12,737) and second in wins (103).
