Detroit Red Wings prospect forward Michael Brandsegg-Nygård, who led the Grand Rapids Griffins in scoring during the Calder Cup Playoffs, is off to a hot start with Team Norway in the 2026 IIHF World Championship.

He played in 14 total NHL games with the Red Wings in 2025-26, registering an assist.

He made the roster out of Training Camp thanks to his strong showing in the pre-season, but was eventually returned to the Griffins.

Will he make the club's roster out of Training Camp and the pre-season this fall?
