Swedish defenseman Axel Sandin-Pellikka is one of the most intriguing prospects that the <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> have at their disposal, and he's been getting valuable experience and playing time thus far in Detroit's pre-season schedule.
This means that for now, young prospects who have impressed during the pre-season like Michael Brandsegg-Nygård, Emmitt Finnie, and Axel Sandin-Pellikka have a chance to make the team.
The Red Wings will begin regular season play for their centennial campaign on Oct. 9 against the Montreal Canadiens at Little Caesars Arena.
