The Detroit Red Wings over the weekend took part in the 2024 NHL Prospect games as they took on the Dallas Stars in two games the Red Wings prospects took care of business in the two games as they picked up a 5-1 win over the Stars on Saturday then on Sunday, they won 3-2.
Saturday
In Saturday’s game, Carter Gylander got the start in net for the Red Wings while Benjamin Kraws was in the crease for Dallas. The Stars got the scoring going early as they got a goal from Arttu Hyry on the power play. Neither team scored in the second period. In the third period, the Red Wings took complete advantage as they scored five goals with one of them coming on an empty net. The first goal was scored just over three minutes into the period as Charlie Paquette scored with assists from Carson Bantle, and Brayden Edwards. Just over two minutes last Gabriel Seger scored with assists from Emmitt Finnie and Josh Van Mulligen. With over 12 minutes left in the game, Jakub Rychlovsky scored a power-play goal which was assisted by Carson Bantle and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard. With over five minutes left to play Alexandre Doucet scored on a play that was assisted by Amadeus Lombardi and Hunter Johannes.

Sunday
On Sunday the Red Wings used both goalies with Gylander getting the start playing just over 30 minutes then Landon Miller relieved him, and the Stars used Bryan Thompson. Detroit got on the board first as Doubet was at it again scoring with just over five minutes left in the period with a pass assisted by Hunter Johannes. In the second period, Dallas tied it as Emil Hemming scored, but the Red Wings would take the lead right back as Johannes scored with the goal assisted by Doucet and Lombardi making it 2-1 Detroit after 40 minutes of play. Just over 14 minutes into the third the Red Wings got a power-play goal from Emmitt Finnie which was assisted by Jakub Rychlovsky and Nate Danielson. The Stars would tally one more with an extra attacker as Anthony Romano scored with one second left, leading to the Red Wings sweep of the weekend. Gylander stopped all 12 shots he faced while Miller stopped 16 of the 18 shots he faced and Thompson stopped 17 shots.
Stars of the Weekend
- Alexandre Doucet 4P. 3G. 1A. +3
- Amadeus Lombardi 3P. 3A. +3
- Hunter Johannes – 3P. 1G. 2A. +3
Bottom Line:
That line of Doucet, Lombardi, and Johannes seemed to gel for the Red Wings as they picked up the win outscoring the Stars 8-3. Gylander also looked good in net as he finished the weekend with a 0.67 goals against average and a 0.967 save percentage. Two names that surprised me were two defensemen Marcus Kearsey and Josh Van Mulligen who did have an assist but they both finished the weekend as a plus three.
