1 Sept. 1. Today, the Detroit Red Wings.The Detroit Red Wings hope to take another step in their rebuild this season after making several offseason additions, highlighted by two time 40 goal scorer Alex DeBrincat."You see a team that's maybe frustrated with being in a rebuild and wants to get out, " DeBrincat said. "I'm excited to be here and kind of join that and hopefully be part of the solution to get out of that. I'm just really excited to join these guys, and I definitely see the potential in this group."The Red Wings have not made the Stanley Cup Playoffs for seven straight seasons https://www.wildprostore.com/kale-kessy-jersey, tying the longest drought 1970 77 in their 97 year history.But after bottoming out with 39 points in 71 games in 2019 20, their first season under general manager Steve Yzerman, they have improved steadily season by season.

"I think we categorize Alex in that mold, as a sniper. Just one shot can change a game."Compher set NHL career highs in assists 35 and points 52 with the Colorado Avalanche last season Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey, while Sprong set NHL career highs in goals 21 , assists 25 and points 46 with the Seattle Kraken and Kostin set NHL career highs in goals 11 , assists 10 and points 21 with the Edmonton Oilers.Gostisbehere has had as many as 17 goals with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2015 16 and 65 points with the Flyers in 2017 18.

"I'm excited to be with this group and build towards the ultimate goal of winning a championship, and it starts with making the playoffs. I've been through it before and excited to take on this challenge as well."Sprong has been through a turnaround before too. He ended the 2021 22 season with the Kraken, who finished 30th in the League in their inaugural season as an expansion team. Not only did they improve by 40 points and make the playoffs last season, but they came within a game of the Western Conference Final, losing to the Dallas Stars in Game 7 of the second round."I'm excited, " Sprong said. "Detroit was only 12 points out of a playoff spot last year. You're talking about maybe a six , seven game swing here and there during the year. You don't want to get too high. You don't want to get too low. But you're not far out of the race. It's going to be a fight for playoffs Mikael Granlund Jersey, and I think that's everyone's goal in the organization this year."Yzerman has managed expectations carefully, avoiding using the word "playoffs." But at minimum, the goal is more progress."I don't know where we're going to finish in the standings this year, " Yzerman said. "I hope we're creeping forward."
