Red Wings announce another emergency roster move

The Detroit Red Wings were forced to call up forward Taro Hirose from the American Hockey League affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins prior to yesterday's home finale against the Dallas Stars. Tonight, prior to their second to last game of the 2022-23 NHL season, they've announced another emergency roster move. 

Forward Danny O’Regan has been brought up from the Griffins, while defenseman Simon Edvinsson has been returned to the club (as originally planned in order to avoid a year coming off his three year entry level contract). 

Oringally drafted 138th overall by the San Jose Sharks in the 2012 NHL Draft, O'Regan would eventually be dealt to the Buffalo Sabres in the trade that saw controversial forward Evander Kane head to San Jose. He'd later play within the New York Rangers and Vegas Golden Knights organizations before signing with the Anaheim Ducks in 2021. 

 Ducks traded O'Regan to the Red Wings in exchange for Michael Del Zotto in December of 2022. In 37 games with the Griffins this season, O'Regan has scored 14 goals along with 17 assists. 

In 30 career NHL games, he's scored one goal with five assists. The Red Wings take on the Carolina Hurricanes tonight from PNC Arena starting at 7:00 PM EST.
