Nate Danielson returns to game action at Red Wings rookie tournament

Detroit Red Wings prospect Nate Danielson returned to competitive play Saturday during the team’s rookie tournament at the Belfor Training Center. Danielson recorded one assist and six shots on goal as Detroit rallied from a three-goal third-period deficit to beat the Dallas Stars rookies 4-3 in a shootout. The forward had been sidelined for roughly seven months following a hip injury that ended his previous season prematurely. Grand Rapids Griffins coach Dan Watson, who is leading the Detroit bench, stated the tournament serves as a vital warm-up to help Danielson prepare for upcoming NHL training camp. The team is looking for internal solutions to improve center depth ahead of the regular season.
