Detroit Red Wings goaltending prospect Rudy Guimond Finishes Season With 16-0-0 Record
All eyes are on Detroit as the playoff race continues and the team seeks to squeeze into a postseason spot. However, behind closed doors, a Red Wings prospect is hitting numbers like you wouldn't believe, suggesting a bright future for the organization.
The Red Wings have been struggling for 9 years to make their attendance to the NHL playoffs, and with no security in their goaltending roster, the team continues to lack consistency within their games.
However, there is a silver-lining, as a 19-year old goaltender is on track to make his appearance into Detroit's lineup after an impressive season this year.
We can expect a bright goaltending future for the Detroit Red Wings
In 2023, the
Red Wings drafted a goaltender,
Rudy Guimond, who was selected 196th overall and he continues to prove his worth as he's pulled outstanding numbers this season.
Guimond stands at an elite record of 16-0, averaging at 1.77 goals-against average (GAA) in the QMJHL, proving he could be a cornerstone for the Red Wings down the line.
Detroit has undoubtedly been unlucky with securing goaltender as of late. With countless adjustments, trades and notable absence in a reliable net-minder, the team is in dire need to find a candidate that is capable of confirming the fate of the organization's re-build.
However, they may have just found their long-term candidate that portrays a bright future for Detroit and someone who may have the ability to bring the organization back to Stanley Cup contention.
Do you think Rudy Guimond is the organization's best option to become playoff contenders in the future?
