Observations and Questions ahead of game 1 Folks, we’re on the cusp of the most-hopeful Red Wings season since... well take your pick. I’m a hopeful sucker, so I was probably last this hopeful before game 1 of the Frans Nielsen era.
Longtime National Hockey League forward Frans Nielsen announced his retirement on Tuesday after Team Denmark played its last game at the 2022 IIHF World Championship.
The men’s ice hockey tournament at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is officially underway. The action started at 3:40 a.m. ET on Wednesday (4:40 p.m. in Beijing), with Teams Switzerland and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) facing off at the National Indoor Stadium.
Last season, Nielsen suited up in just 29 contests, scoring only once while chipping in with five assists in a little over 12 minutes a game on average.
