The Detroit Red Wings infamous "Yzerplan" is starting to pay off and is forcing the organization to make a trade.

The Red Wings' fourth straight win came from a familiar source. Now, they'll have to show they can handle success.

Rookies Axel Sandin Pellikka, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård & Emmitt Finnie are holding their own with the Detroit Red Wings in a four-game win streak.

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings coach Todd McLellan talks about having “a ton of confidence” in the three rookies that forced their way onto the roster. That was evident when two of them – Axel Sandin-Pellikka and Emmitt Finnie – were on the ice to start overtime on Friday. It’s been clear on how he’s used all three, including Michael Brandsegg-Nygard.

Detroit Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan has liked what he's seen from rookie Axel Sandin-Pellikka in the early going.

Sandin Pellikka made his NHL debut in Detroit's 5-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.

Hamonic, 35, joined Detroit on a one-year, $1 million deal after a 59-game stint with Ottawa last season. Gustafsson, 33, signed a two-year contract worth $2 million and was assigned to the AHL’s Grand Rapids on Saturday.
