High hopes for Detroit Red Wings' prospect playing in KHL and poised for breakout season
Detroit Red Wings prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov is poised for a potential breakout season in the KHL.
After an offseason trade to Vityaz from SKA St. Petersburg, Dmitri Buchelnikov, 20, is expected to gain regular playing time, giving him a chance to solidify his role. Last season, he shined on loan at Admiral, posting 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) in 55 games and earning a nomination for Rookie of the Year.
In other Red Wings news, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard's Olympic dreams were dashed as Norway fell 4-1 to Denmark in their qualifying match, ending their bid for the 2026 Winter Games. Meanwhile, former Detroit Red Wings star Igor Larionov, now coaching in the KHL, offered condolences to the family of Johnny Gaudreau following a tragic accident, drawing a parallel to the 1997 Detroit limousine crash that impacted the Detroit Red Wings' family.
