Red Wings Recall Top Prospect Nate Danielson from Grand Rapids Griffins

The Detroit Red Wings have recalled top prospect Nate Danielson from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday, potentially paving the way for his long-anticipated NHL debut. Danielson, the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, has impressed since returning from an October 24 preseason injury. This season with Grand Rapids, the 21-year-old center recorded five points (one goal, four assists) in four games. Last season, he tallied 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists) in 71 games, ranking among team leaders and leading AHL rookies in shorthanded assists. He also registered three points in three preseason games, turning heads and being considered close to making the NHL roster out of camp alongside other key rebuild prospects.
