Major career milestone for 31-year-old Red Wings rookie forward Dominik Shine!
Have yourself a night, Dominik Shine! The 31-year-old rookie, who recently played his 1st career NHL game, has picked up his very first NHL point!
Thanks to a slew of injuries to forwards including Patrick Kane and J.T. Compher, the Detroit Red Wings re-called 31-year-old forward Dominik Shine from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
On Monday against the Los Angeles Kings, Shine appeared in his very 1st NHL game, and he's remained in the lineup as the Red Wings have embarked on a 4-game road trip.
Tonight against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Arena, Shine picked up a key career milestone. He now has his 1st NHL assist, picking up the helper on captain Dylan Larkin's 1st period goal:
Congratulations, Dominik!
