Red Wings Reduce Training Camp Roster by 11 Players

The Winnipeg Jets have made several cuts to their training camp roster, sending forwards Chaz Lucius, Henri Nikkanen, and Danny Zhilkin to their AHL affiliate, while five players were released to their junior clubs and four others were let go from professional tryouts. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings have reduced their roster to 57 players ahead of their preseason opener against the Chicago Blackhawks, having returned goaltender Landon Miller to the OHL and released multiple players from amateur tryouts. The Red Wings' roster includes 33 forwards, 16 defensemen, and 8 goaltenders, with three experienced PTO players still vying for a spot. As the preseason begins, players are eager to prove their worth and secure their positions, particularly top prospects Marco Kasper, Carter Mazur, and Nate Danielson. The Jets are set to face the Edmonton Oilers next in their preseason schedule. Both teams aim to finalize their rosters amidst these critical evaluation periods.
