The Detroit Red Wings don’t often have Americans on their team, but when they do they are usually brought in to fill a need for a few years. In honor of the 4th of July here are the top ten American Red Wings.
10. David Silk (W)
A member of the Miracle on Ice squad, Silk was claimed off waivers by the Wings in 1984 for a one year deal. He scored two goals in 12 games played.
9. Brian Lashoff (D)
The lefty defenseman, Lashoff signed with the Wings in 2008.
