Detroit Red Wings prospect Marco Kasper skated in his first National Hockey League contest on Sunday night as part of his team’s 5-2 victory over the host Toronto Maple Leafs. The 18 year old Austria native drew high praise from his coaching staff and teammates for his performance on the ice while skating in just under 15 minutes of total ice time.
However, fans will have to wait to see him on the ice again wearing the Winged Wheel. According to the Red Wings, Kasper will not be playing tonight against the Montreal Canadiens due to a lower body injury.
It’s pretty surreal the amount of injuries that the Red Wings have had to deal with this season.
