Red Wings Prospect Bear Ties AHL Scoring Lead
Detroit prospect Carter Bear scored twice and added two assists in Grand Rapids’ 6-3 win over Rockford, extending his point streak to six games. The 20-year-old, selected 13th overall in the 2025 draft, has five goals and 13 assists for 18 points in 13 AHL games, tying for the league scoring lead and leading the rookie race. Though known as a goal scorer in junior hockey, Bear has impressed with his playmaking, two-way work and rapid adjustment to the professional game. His production has fueled discussion of a possible Red Wings call-up as Detroit seeks more offense, but Griffins coach Dan Watson said Bear must be ready and earn the opportunity; keeping him in a prominent role in Grand Rapids could best support his development.
