Can this Detroit Red Wings prospect stay in the 2024-25 season lineup in Grand Rapids?

Last season, the Griffins and Red Wings lost several key contributors to their offenses. Detroit parted ways with players like Daniel Sprong, David Perron, and Robby Fabbri, totalling 75 goals. Similarly, Grand Rapids saw 81 goals walk out the door with the departures of players like Jonatan Berggren, Joel L'Esperance, and Zach Aston-Reese.

Doucet, who netted 19 goals as a rookie last season with the ECHL's Toledo Walleye, is positioning himself as a potential solution. His recent performance in Detroit's rookie series against the Dallas Stars, where he scored three times in two games, shows his knack for finding the net.

The 6-foot, 192-pound left winger has focused on improving his strength and speed during the offseason, aiming to jump to the AHL. Griffins coach Dan Watson has noticed Doucet's hard work and improvement, particularly in his consistency and energy on the ice. For Doucet, this season is about proving he belongs in Grand Rapids and helping fill the scoring gap left by offseason changes.
