We won't know for sure whether Trey Augustine will be in net today for the Detroit Red Wings against the Dallas Stars in the NHL Prospects Tournament until players come out for the warmup.
But it would be appropriate given his importance to Detroit's long-term plans.

There is no prospect with a greater chance to have an impact than the former Michigan State goalie Augustine. With Sebastian Cossa now playing in Utah, Augustine and Michal Postava are the team's goalies of the future.
Augustine, 21, is a technically sound, poised netminder with a quick glove hand. The biggest rub against him is that his 6-foot-1 length is below league average for goalies and he needs work on his rebound control.
That all adds up to Augustine having special status among prospects. It would be symbolic to see him in net for half of the game against Dallas today at the NHL Prospects Tournament . This marks the start of his first full season with the organization. (He did play two games for Grand Rapids last spring). Today's game starts at 6:30 at Little Caesars Arena. It is being streamed live for Michigan residents and a small section of Ohio at DetroitRedWings.com

Red Wings Extra
There is no comparison between Eddie Genborg and Tomas Holmstrom. Different players. But Genborg shares one trait with the former Red Wing Holmstrom. He knows how to play in front of the opposition net.
Ya gotta respect Eddie Genborg's (2nd Round'25) willingness to take punishment in front of the net. Perfect example:
•cross checked in the back falls on his stick it breaks
• gets a new stick back to the front of the net. Perfect screen, goal. #LGRW #Timråik pic.twitter.com/v4KEzM8SrA— Red Wings Prospects (@LGRWProspects) September 11, 2026
