Daniel Sprong is off to a hot start in the KHL, leading traditional power CSKA Moscow in scoring with 14 points in 14 games (five goals, nine assists).<\/p>\n
But that didn\u2019t prevent the club from suspending the former Detroit Red Wings forward for at least two games for unspecified reasons.<\/p>\n
According to Sport-Express,<\/a> head coach Igor Nikitin is \u201cdissatisfied with the player\u2019s behavior. Specifically, he\u2019s complaining that the 28-year-old forward isn\u2019t meeting his demands and isn\u2019t fitting in with the team\u2019s play.\u201d<\/p>\n Sprong had a fairly productive season in Detroit in 2023-24, <\/a>collecting 18 goals and 43 points despite limited ice time in a bottom-six role.<\/p>\n The Red Wings did not re-sign him. He inked a one-year, $970,000 contract with Vancouver but experienced a tumultuous season.<\/p>\n After playing only nine games (one goal, two assists), he was traded to Seattle for future considerations. He played only 10 games in his second stint with the Kraken (one goal, one assist) and appeared in 19 games for their AHL affiliate Coachella Valley (11 goals, 14 assists).<\/p>\n Seattle traded him to New Jersey on March 7. He appeared in 11 games for the Devils (no goals, two assists) and only one playoff game.<\/p>\n In all, he totaled two goals and five assists in 30 games. <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
