The Detroit Red Wings have announced the emergency recall of forward Marco Kasper from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins. Kasper, the team’s eighth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, is returning to the roster as the Red Wings aim to strengthen their lineup.
Although Kasper has only played one NHL game so far—a road contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2022-23 season—he has shown potential during his time in the AHL.
In the 2023-24 season, Kasper recorded 14 goals and 21 assists over 71 games, proving himself as a key offensive contributor and continuing to develop as a top prospect for Detroit.
This emergency call-up suggests the Red Wings may be facing injuries or other roster issues, and Kasper’s return could provide valuable depth. Fans are eager to see how the young forward will perform in his latest NHL opportunity.
