Carinthian before comeback
Detroit calls up Marco Kasper to the NHL squad
Marco Kasper is about to make his season debut in the North American ice hockey league NHL. The Detroit Red Wings have called up the 20-year-old forward from the Grand Rapids Griffins farm team to the NHL squad, the club announced on its social media channels on Friday.
The Carinthian could thus play his second game in the world's strongest ice hockey league on Saturday (8 p.m. CET) in Nashville against the Predators.
Kasper was selected eighth overall in the 2022 NHL Draft by Steve Yzerman, once a legend in Detroit and now general manager, and made his debut on April 2, 2023 at the age of 18. The Klagenfurt native suffered a fractured kneecap in the process. Last season, the center gained experience with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL, and despite strong preparation, he was also sent to the Griffins at the start of the season this year.
Now the forward will get his chance with the Red Wings, who have had a disappointing start to the season. Detroit is bottom of the Atlantic Division with just one win from four games.
