Great Report : Detroit Red wings best star just welcome a New Born baby after the……
Tarik Skubal, the ace pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, has given both fans and management a scare after taking a line drive to his non-throwing hand during a game against the Colorado Rockies. According to reports, the injury occurred in the sixth inning when Skubal, who was performing well at the time, managed to make a barehanded catch after being struck on his glove wrist. Following the incident, he completed the inning before being pulled from the game after throwing just 84 pitches, his lowest total since June 19. The Tigers ultimately lost the game 4-2, with the Rockies scoring three late runs.
Post-game, Skubal shared his relief after undergoing an X-ray that revealed no fractures. He stated, “It’s a little sore, but I think I’m fine,” which provided assurance amid the tension of a critical playoff chase. His current season statistics are impressive: a record of 16-4, a 2.50 ERA, and 214 strikeouts, making him a leading contender for the American League Cy Young Award. The loss of Skubal could have severe implications for the Tigers, who are currently 3.5 games back in the race for the AL Wild Card with only 15 games left in the season.
Skubal’s status remains vital as he is expected to make his next start against the Kansas City Royals on September 17. His contributions on the mound, particularly in this late-season stretch, will play a significant role in the Tigers’ playoff aspirations. His ongoing performance is critical as the team seeks its first postseason berth in several years.
Danielson was drafted by the Red Wings with the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. He spent last season playing for the Brandon Wheat Kings playing in 26 games recording 26 points on 12 goals, and 14 assists, and he was a plus six. He was then traded to the Portland Winterhawks where he played in 28 games recording 41 points on 12 goals, 19 assists, and was a plus 20. Once the Western Hockey League’s season ended he joined the Red Wings AHL affiliate the Grand Rapids Griffins and in two games in the playoffs, he failed to record a point and was a minus one. Danielson will likely start the season with Grand Rapids but if he has a season like he did the Winterhawks he’ll force his way in the Red Wings lineup in 2024-25.
LW – Alexandre Doucet
Doucet was undrafted but signed a deal with the Red Wings. Last season he played for the Red Wings ECHL affiliate the Toledo Walleye playing in 52 games he recorded 41 points on 19 goals, and 22 assists and was a plus 19, in the playoffs he played in 14 games he recorded six points on a goal and five assists, he was a plus/minus of zero. He also appeared in the AHL with Grand Rapids playing in six games, he didn’t register a point and was a minus-two. Doucet is looking to make his way to a full season in Grand Rapids and barring any injuries join the Red Wings, but he may be a more likely candidate to see in 2025-26 or 2026-27.
RW – Michael Brandsegg-Nygard
Brandsegg-Nygard was drafted 15th overall in this past draft, last season he played for Mora IK in 41 games he recorded 18 points on eight goals and ten assists and was a plus three. In the qualification round, he played in 12 games recording ten points on four goals and six assists, and was a plus-one. He would play for Norway in the World Juniors playing in five games recording five points on three goals and two assists and was plus one. This season he’s been playing for Norway in International play and in five games he has five points on four goals and an assist as well as being a plus-three. Brandsegg-Nygard will be watched in this tournament as Red Wings fans will look to see if they got a steal in the draft and someone who can join them relatively soon and help them in the future.
