What the Detroit Red Wings' plans are for top goaltending prospect

The Detroit Red Wings’ top goaltending prospect will begin his pro career next season.

The Wings have signed Filip Larsson to a three-year, entry-level contract, and assistant general manager Ryan Martin told the Free Press Larsson will be in Grand Rapids in 2019-20. The Wings are set in goal through next season, with both Jimmy Howard and Jonathan Bernier under contract.

The Wings drafted Larsson at 167th overall in 2016. He spent 2018-19 at the University of Denver, where he capped his freshman year with an appearance in the Frozen Four after two straight shutouts in the West Regional.
