The Story in 60 Seconds

The Detroit Red Wings made no waiver wire moves as NHL cutdowns concluded, maintaining their full preseason roster intact. Key players Dylan Larkin and Jacob Bernard-Docker remain sidelined with uncertain injury timelines, while defenseman Simon Edvinsson continues to practice non-contact drills without a new contract. Edvinsson has avoided scrimmages and preseason games as Detroit's management reportedly seeks a bridge deal for the defenseman.

The current roster flexibility provides NHL opportunities for prospects William Wallinder, Anton Johansson, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka. Meanwhile, in the AHL, Grand Rapids Griffins goaltender Trey Augustine made 23 saves on 25 shots in a 5-2 preseason victory over the Cleveland Monsters.
