At least the future will be on display soon to brigthen the present.
On the same day the Detroit Red Wings were eliminated from the 2025 NHL playoff race, Wings prospects Axel Sandin Pellikka and Michael Brandsegg-Nygau030ard were freed up when their club, Skellefteau030a, was eliminated from the Swedish Hockey League playoffs. That cleared the way for both to join the Wings organization and play some more hockey in North America.
They traveled Tuesday, and are scheduled to join the Wings' AHL farm team, the Grand Rapids Griffins, in Rockford, Illinois, where they play against the IceHogs on Friday.
