Penguins forward prospect Jan Drozg will get an opportunity to chase his NHL dream elsewhere.
The Penguins loaned Drozg to the Red Wings organization for the remainder of the season. Drozg will play for Detroit's AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Drozg was set to be a restricted free agent this offseason and was unlikely to be re-signed. The loan to Detroit allows Drozg the opportunity to get some playing time to finish the season and try to earn a contract with Detroit for next season.
Drozg, 22, was the Penguins' fifth-round pick in 2017.
