Dark horse Detroit Red Wings prospect will crack the lineup this year
The Detroit Red Wings narrowly missed the playoffs last season, falling just one point shy of the final wildcard spot. Carter Mazur could be a pivotal player as the team aims for a postseason return in the 2024-25 season.
Fresh off a standout rookie year with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Mazur is a top prospect expected to make a significant impact. According to Max Bultman of The Athletic, Carter Mazur's strong AHL performance, including 17 goals and 37 points, and his versatility make him a prime candidate for an NHL spot. He could slot into a bottom-six role, potentially joining players like Andrew Copp or Michael Rasmussen.
The team is gearing up for a strong season with the Detroit Red Wings, which are also adding Patrick Kane, Vladimir Tarasenko, and Cam Talbot in the offseason. Mazur's potential presence on the roster could be a crucial factor in their playoff push.
