The Detroit Red Wings concluded their training camp with the annual Red and White Game, where Team White dominated 6-1.

Here are the key takeaways of the beginning of the training camp for the Detroit Red Wings:

Alex DeBrincat's has the scoring touch:
DeBrincat made an immediate impact, scoring 24 seconds into the game and adding a shootout goal. Looking to improve upon his 27-goal season, his quick offensive production is a positive sign. Head coach Derek Lalonde remains confident that DeBrincat's scoring consistency will come as long as he keeps generating chances.

Jonatan Berggren's and his defensive growth since last year:
Berggren, aiming to secure a full-time role, continues to improve defensively. While Lalonde acknowledged Berggren's offensive skill, he highlighted the need for better defensive decisions. Despite some lapses in the scrimmage, the tone was optimistic, signalling faith in Berggren's ability to become a complete player. This marks a shift from the uncertainty surrounding his future last season.

Sheldon Dries impresses the organization:
Dries was a standout performer, scoring on the power play and excelling on the penalty kill. Lalonde, who coached Dries in junior hockey, praised his versatility and reliability. While cracking the NHL roster may be difficult, Dries is well-positioned as a valuable call-up option throughout the season.

Michael Brandsegg-Nygard's adaptation to the North America ice:
First-round pick Brandsegg-Nygard showed steady progress, though Lalonde acknowledged the challenges of adapting to North American hockey. With time, he's expected to return to Sweden or the AHL for further development, aligning with the team's long-term plan.
