The Detroit Red Wings are going to be short at least 2 top roster players for tonight's game against the Los Angeles Kings at Little Caesars Arena (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).
Earlier this afternoon, the Red Wings announced that longtime Grand Rapids Griffins forward Dominik Shine has been signed to a 2-year contract, including for the rest of this year.
Shine is having a career year, as he is one point from tying his career best of 33 and is on pace to reach 58 (20-38-58) this season. The 31-year-old is also two assists from tying his career high of 23 (2023-24) and six goals from tying his career best of 17 (2021-22).
He has already notched career-high totals in power-play goals (4), game-winners (3), and multi-point outings (8).
On Jan. 18, Shine moved into a tie for 10th place on the team's all-time goals scored list with his 72nd tally and is currently on a team-high five-game point streak (1-6-7).
He also has 13 points (5-8-13) in his last 15 contests. Shine ranks first on the roster in points (11-21-32) and assists (21), tied for third in goals (11), and third in power-play goals (4) in 40 games.
The Detroit native has spent his entire career with Grand Rapids since 2016-17 and has accumulated 170 points (72-98-170) and 513 penalty minutes in 462 appearances.
In the Griffins' all-time rankings, Shine places third in games played, sixth in penalty minutes, tied for 10th in goals scored (72), tied for 10th in overtime goals (2), and tied for first in unassisted goals (10).
Last year, he became just the third player in franchise history to reach eight seasons of service.

The Red Wings will be shorthanded tonight against the Kings
Both Patrick Kane and J.T. Compher are confirmed by head coach Todd McLellan to be unavailable for tonight's game; Compher was hurt in Saturday's win against the Tampa Bay Lightning, while Kane continues to suffer the effects of an injury he suffered in last week's loss against the Dallas Stars.
Kane has since been placed on Injured Reserve.
