Detroit Red Wings prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov is already an All-Star, having earned the honor in the KHL yesterday in what we hope is a preview of his NHL career!
Detroit Red Wings prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov continues to get valuable experience in the KHL before he makes the jump to North America to the AHL and eventually with the Red Wings in the NHL.

Additionally, Buchelnikov has earned a place in the upcoming KHL All-Star Game!
Dmitri Buchelnikov believes the Red Wings could make the postseason in 2025
While English isn't his first language, Buchelnikov made an effort to effectively communicate with his new organization, especially when he toured Little Caesars Arena for the first time.

I showed that I'm not afraid to come and it was an interesting experiment for me. America is another part of the world.
He also said he thinks the Red Wings could end their playoff drought later this year based on their offseason additions and retentions.

Will Buchelnikov be part of the new wave of Red Wings to lead the team back to glory?
