The tournament will return to Centre Ice from Thusday, Sept. 16 to Monday, Sept. 20. Other teams participating are the Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, St. Louis Blues, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Headlining Detroit’s roster are first-round picks Joe Veleno (30th overall in 2018), Lucas Raymond (4th overall in 2020), and Sebastian Cossa (15th overall in 2021). Other notable players are Jonatan Berggren, who is coming off a red-hot season in the SHL, and Jared McIsaac, who Red Wings fans will no doubt be interested in watching as he has missed significant time due to injury since being drafted in 2018.
Here’s a look at the tournament schedule:
