Detroit Red Wings prospect Axel Sandin Pellikka to attend training camp
This move is unusual as SHL players typically do not cross the Atlantic for NHL camps due to the league's early start and rigorous training schedules. Skelleftea's willingness to allow both players to participate is a testament to their strong relationship with the Detroit Red Wings and commitment to player development.
Axel Sandin Pellikka, the SHL's top defenseman last season, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, a key acquisition for Skelleftea, will gain valuable experience and insight into the NHL level. This opportunity will help the Detroit Red Wings assess their potential for future roster spots, including possible moves to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
