The Detroit Red Wings, who are now skating without their top three centers, need a boost. Sheldon Dries wants to help.
Dries arrived last Wednesday from the AHL-leading Grand Rapids Griffins for his first NHL outing since April 13, 2024. In two appearances, he supplied little assistance in helping the Red Wings escape their post-Olympic break skid.
Dries posted two shots on goal in 10:16 of ice time during the 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last Thursday. He followed his season debut by recording just one shot in 7:54 during last Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars.
