The Detroit Red Wings are returning home following a tough trip to Sweden. They picked up one point out of a possible four losing in overtime to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday and then losing 3-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday.

The Red Wings’ minor league affiliates, however, combined to go 4-2-1 over the last week with their AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, going 1-2-0, winning against the Chicago Wolves on Wednesday but dropping both games over the weekend to the Texas Stars; they were outscored 13-11 in the three games. The Griffins still sit in fifth place in the Central Division at 4-7-1-1 with ten points, tied with the Manitoba Moose. The Red Wings ECHL affiliate, the Toledo Walleye, went 3-0-1 over the weekend and still sit in first place in the Central Division at 8-1-1-1 and 18 points. The Walleye outscored their opponent 16-11. Now, the three stars of the week for the Red Wings prospects.

This season, Danielson has played in 16 games and recorded 13 points, coming on five goals and eight assists, including the two goals from the past week, and he is a minus-one on the year.

2.) Forward – Carter Mazur – Grand Rapids Griffins

Mazur played in three games this week, but it was one game that put him over the top, and that was on Wednesday when he recorded two goals and an assist for three points. However, he did not appear on the scoresheet in the two games over the weekend. This season, he has played in seven games and has five points on two goals and three assists.
