The Red Wings season of Detroit took a Turns too familiar to the unfortunate, But a hope of Detroit does its best to offer optimism in the future in Hockeytown.
Axel Sandin-Pellikka (which the Red Wings selected with the 17th choice at the NHL 2023 draft) scored his 12th SHL goal of the season on Saturday for Skellefteå, establishing a new record for the goals of a junior defender (ie under 20) in the history of the league. The goal was the winner of the match for Skellefteå, who scored a vital victory of 2 to 1 on the League league leaders.

After the victory, Sandin-Pellikka will prepare for a race in the SHL qualifiers, but for fans of the Red Wings, it is impossible not to wait for your North American future. As the Director General of Detroit noted, Steve Yzerman, in his deadline remarks after trade, it is possible that Sandin-Pellikka can come to the United States for the end of the season once his SHL campaign ends.
More than probably, that would mean joining the Grande Rapids griffins for the end of their season, however, according to the way in which Red Wings qualifiers are progressing, maybe he could also do a COMMée de la NHL.
The most important question is probably where Sandin-Pellikka will start his campaign ’25 -26, and once again, the most likely answer to this question is great rapid. Of course, Sandin-Pellikka could play his way in a role with the Red Wings out of the camp, but Yzerman tended to be patient with his written prospects (especially with the defenders), preferring to see them prosper with the griffins before progressing towards a role in the NHL.
Regardless of Sandin-Pellikka’s precise calendar for Detroit, he certainly gives excitement in the future at a time when Hockeytown could use a boost.
