FRISCO, Texas \u2013 Comerica Center played host to a collection of exciting young talent this weekend, and the Detroit Red Wings are returning home from the 2025 NHL Prospect Games, despite a 6-5 loss to the Dallas Stars on Sunday night, with valuable experience gained and memories made.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a great opportunity for the young guys to gel,\u201d Grand Rapids Griffins head coach Dan Watson said. \u201cThey\u2019re draft picks, again I mentioned that we hope to see them play together whether it\u2019s in Grand Rapids or Detroit. It\u2019s an opportunity to know each other, learn about each other. The guys I obviously had in Grand Rapids, it was an opportunity for us to see what kind of summer they had.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought our guys competed really hard all the way through. They probably got a little bit tired, especially our top six forwards there. Shuffled some lines around later in the game to try to generate a little more offense, but overall pretty pleased with what I saw.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like the Red Wings did the night prior, the Stars opened the scoring quickly in Sunday\u2019s finale. Thirty-five seconds after the puck was dropped, Jaxon Fuder converted a wrist shot from the slot on a 2-on-1 rush to put Dallas ahead 1-0.<\/p>\n
Dallas doubled its lead at 7:32 of the first period, as Artem Shlaine got a pass from Fuder and scored in tight to push it to 2-0.<\/p>\n
But Shai Buium responded for Detroit, scoring wide-open at the back post on the power play to make it 2-1 with 5:19 left in the first period. The assists on Buium\u2019s second goal of this year\u2019s NHL Prospect Games went to Carson Bantle and Amadeus Lombardi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRISCO, Texas \u2013 Comerica Center played host to a collection of exciting young talent this weekend, and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-144703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
